CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The mandate. Supporting countries in making the best decisions for children. Really nice team overall (may depend on what your team is).

Cons

When based in New-York, missions mean lot of jetlag and lost weekends. No career path upward for technical specialists after a while (you get into management, but if you do not like it, there are few options).
