Pros

Always new experiences to be had. Very enjoyable work atmosphere. Very helpful and friendly staff and co-workers. Some joint offices are open and environs for the staff.

Cons

Melanie Verwoerd is no longer a part of UNICEF. Can be overwhelming when you only stat out and your made part of a big project but it helps you to learn to overcome this anxiety once you've done it.
