Pros

It's a place where you have a great opportunity to grow professionally, learn new things in a friendly environment, working on really important tasks - supporting people in need.

Cons

On the cons I would include excessive bureaucracy due to which sometimes it takes quite a long time to agree on issues.

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.
