UNICEF: A good school, but not a chance to develop a career

Business Outlook

Pros

Working for an organization with great reputation and the most important cause: the welfare of children. Multi-cultural environment.

Cons

Not always coherent between what promotes for women and children vs. the benefits for its employees. Too much burocracy. Too less autonomy (extremely vertical organization).

Pros

Very multi-cultural work setting and ability to work with people with interesting and varied backgrounds.

Cons

A very hierarchical structure depending on where you work. Working in a country office can allow for more flexibility and responsibility, but working in the HQ or regional offices is more rigid and less flexible.

Pros

Great exposure to new ideas, people, and child protection issues from both field visits and headquarter involvement gives you a chance to see how human rights operates on the ground.

Cons

It is incredibly bureaucratic and often does not value national staff for their expertise, even if staff are as qualified, or even more qualified, than international candidates.
