      Good on the resume, but not substantively interesting

      Summer intern

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      UNICEF certainly has name-brand recognition, and for that reason, even an unpaid internship can be prestigious and look good on the resume.

      Cons

      In my particular experience, I wasn't utilized to the fullest, or anywhere near the fullest, of my capabilities. In terms of skills and professional development, it was a waste of time.

      Inspiring mandate, committed colleagues, but bureaucracy is a damper

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Inspiring mandate - in my opinion the best international organization working for children's rights to health, education and protection - An excellent place to work for women (and men) - great work/family/life balance - Salaries may be better than local non-profits - Competent co-works that you can learn something from - Very high job security

      Cons

      - Very bureaucratic - specially in administrative processes - No clear decision-making processes / or the ones in place not effective - Due to the international nature of the organization, sometimes information sharing at different levels, i.e. from HQ to field offices may leave room for clarity - Not much accountability for bad performance, which means people can get away with not doing a good job
