Not what you expect it to be

Pros

Salaries and benefits are good.

Cons

It's a chauvinistic and nepotistic environment, which results in low morale and motivation. Plenty of staff are there because of the salaries and benefits, not due to a passion for development.

Business Outlook

Pros

Comfortable setting for a couple of years; benefits are competitive; good work-life balance

Cons

Not ideal if you’ve invested a lot in your education and are a moderately ambitious person. There’s a lot of dead weight in this multilateral institution. The chances that your manager will be a mediocre fool are extremely high.
