      Pros

      You really learn a lot, you get to meet so many different people, and are able to actually help someone or ease his situation through your work. I learned so much there and I am truly grateful.

      Cons

      There is no possibility for becoming an employee at the UN Agencies after the end of your internship. You are EVEN restricted from applying for ANY UN position for 6 months after the end of your internship which is insane. All of the aforementioned should also be considered in the light that you receive no salary, grant or whatever subsidy.

      Pros

      Good benefits, you really do help people

      Cons

      Human Resources takes a highly specialized approach to talent management. In that you cannot really change functions easily in UNHCR. You have to hyper-specialize in one area. So if you are a protection staff, you tend to burn out from trauma without an internal mechanism to alleviate the burnout. The higher you go in UNHCR, the crazier you become.
