Pros

I served at both large and small funded country offices in Asia. For small office, I was fully designated to plan, implement and monitor all component of WASH project so that I could have develop and increase my managerial skills and technical capacity to carry out the overall projects to meet organizational mandate and goal.

Cons

For large office, I had to follow all the bureaucratic procedure and the things moved slowly.

Caring & supportive management Sky is the limit for how much you can learn - if you're prepared to find it yourself Central location Amazing brand Great staff social opportunities Paid day off for birthday

Cons

Severe lack of structure and direction Keeps itself a mystery - information is a commodity Silos - no centrality of data Infighting Progression opportunities limited unless you want to relocate Branding unclear - Australians don't "get" what UNICEF does exactly
