Business Outlook
Pros
Great salary and vacation compared to the private sector. You gain invaluable experience working at an international organization. Great work/life balance. More room to be creative and innovative compared to the UN for example.
Cons
Consultants do not get sick leave or personal leave. They have to use vacation leave instead which is just the tip of the iceberg of the list of inequalities between consultants and staff. DTC contracts max out at 4 years and you have to wait a year to return as a TTC for lower pay. Consultants do the same jobs as staff do and get less benefits and less stability. No maternity leave. Ironic when your organization's mission is "Improving lives".
