Pros

The UN has amazing benefits: paid vacation, great health insurance. Flexibility and telecommuting are also starting to be put in practice. The UN encourages staff to keep learning (languages, skills) and makes it easy and many times free.

Cons

Some offices are really understaffed so there can be long hours (without paid overtime). It is very difficult for General Services staff to move up the ladder.

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
