Business Outlook

Pros

Making a difference for children in need globally. Global organization with offices worldwide, working in multicultural teams, international opportunities, wonderful colleagues and diverse job profiles and opportunities.

Cons

Sometimes a bit of public sector bureaucracy. But UNICEF is probably the most efficient UN organization with few hierarchies and plenty of opportunities for staff

Good employers if you can manage to make the system work for you

Business Outlook

Pros

- lots of internal expertise - well respected organization that opens doors - good ability to mobilize resources - good pay

Cons

It is a UN agency and thus bureaucratic and risk averse. However if you are able to understand how the system works and make the system work for you, you can achieve a lot.

Great work but admin nightmare

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The mission, obviously. The work environment.

Cons

The contract admin nightmare. 11 months per year max, x 4 years. Then you're done. Bye bye. No recourse. No benefits if contractor. A day rate and a thank you. Contractors are third class employee after General Services staff and Professional Staff, despite doing most of the actual work.
