Pros
The pay, the mission, and mostly the people make it worth it. Being part of a global enterprise. These are all reasons to work for the UN.
Cons
If you are in the need of "hand-holding" in the HR process... don't even bother. Even after 65 years, this is still a "pick-yourself-up-from-the-bootstraps" organization. You need to constantly ask questions and expect to look for things yourself. More often than not you will be pleasantly surprised with what you find. You just have to find it.
