Pros

Working for the UN offers some of the most compelling work iminigable. It also offers the opportunity to work in many place across the world with people from all over the world.

Cons

It seems that it would be a dream job; however the banalities of such a large organisation, and the sluggish pace at which decisions are implemented make the work frustratng. Added to that, the organisation has no means for career advancement or career planning. It seems all too often to case that good connections, and not good work performance, are what advance people in their UN careers.

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
