-Make large scale impact on political systems of the country -Reputable, recognizable organization -Colleagues from around the world to interact and learn from

Cons

-No well defined career tracks -Promotions not linked to performance; instead years of service determines promotion -Low salaries if serving in country position as national; only way to make more money is to move internationally -Difficult to move to jobs internationally without networking; not so much a merit-based recruitment of best talent out there

Very smart and nice people, I enjoy working with all of them. They are all very competent.

Cons

Sometimes it can be bit slow, and poor opportunities for full time job. Plus interns are not paid.
