Pros
Under a good leadership UNOPS can be a heaven to work in. It gives you all freedom to explore your capabilities, its gives opportunity to its staffs to develop their skills through international professional courses. Its a good employer when the local conditions are favorable.
Cons
On top positions the organization is recruiting people less for leadership and management qualities and more for their connections, which is bringing abrupt closures and failures of projects and offices. The latest example is closure of many UNOPS offices in Asia region, including India Office. the HQ doesn't have a mechanism to retain the offices and its experienced staffs. Its a policy failure, UNOPS looks for short term gain and no long term commitment.
