Pros

profound job satisfaction - you can make a difference, in big and small ways, every day. Work with people from all over the world, travel to interesting places, and go home each day feeling like "part of the solution". Benefits are great - plenty of vacation time / work-life balance, room for growth. Earning exempt from income tax

Cons

Salary is low as compared to private sector. Paperwork and outdated business processes to get through, and consensus management style that takes a great deal of getting used to.

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
