Pros

Good pay, stressless work, colleagues from all around the world.

Cons

My experience was mainly general skills, some full-time staff are doing little, but get great benefits. UN still has classification of people in P and G categories, with very little chance of switching. P stands for professional staff and G staff doing administrative work. In case you enter UN without any masters degree you end up as G staff facing later on challenges in switching to P.

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
