Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and definately not overworked.

Cons

Full of red tape. Projects that should take 3 months take 3 years. They waste more $$ than any organization that I have ever experienced. Technolgy wise, UNICEF is in 1995. Everyone is a manger of something yet their are few people to perform the work.

Good place for career development, especially within the UN system.

Business Outlook

Pros

pay is fairly well compensated at the upper grades, especially if you are international professional staff (tax free) and take advantage of the benefits (e.g. house allowance, education allowance). Environment is very civilised and not too stressful.

Cons

No cash bonuses. No direct incentive to over-achieve. Easy to get into a follow the herd mentality.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great cause, great people. If you are looking to work with smart, open-minded and international group of people, this is the place to be. This is probably the best UN organization in Geneva.

Cons

Well, it is still the UN: rigid bureaucracy. Also, interns are not paid and the average age is pretty high. Not a lot of space for innovation.
