Quite a Mixed Experience

Pros

Surprisingly dynamic and energized environment, despite the infamous bureaucracy of the UN Motivated, altruistic colleagues Diverse, multilingual office

Cons

Limited resources mean personnel can be overworked, and stress at times sours the office dynamic and relationships You have to get lucky with a manager - some will invest in you and take an interest in your advancement, others will treat junior people as disposable Very limited opportunities for younger employees, and of course the consultancy system leaves much to be desired

Pros

Strong systems and processes in place for safeguarding against fraud, corruption and also ensuring that cross-cutting issues such as the environment and gender are being addressed.

Cons

Significant bureaucracy which prevents the agency from always delivery against objectives or implementing innovative approaches. Treatment of staff is also mixed depending on the senior management team in place.
