Pros

Working for an international organization provided me with the opportunity to work with other cultures and gain diversity in the workplace. By working with an international team, I became able to experience firsthand different styles of working in other cultures and even adopted some new styles of work myself. The UN works to promote justice and protect human rights which are very much corresponds with my moral ideals.

Cons

The UN has a reputation for depending on processes and systems even when they aren’t effective. However it is somewhat understanable since it's a huge organization, the UN is difficult to navigate.

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.
