Pros

Large organization with a lot of opportunity to find something that you're good at.If you're incompetent or hate working, this is a great place for you since you'll most likely just get transferred from departments doing work to some place where you can just hide all day.

Cons

Compensation could be better. Also, they really need to review their tax policy because United States staff members get screwed. They pay a "Staff Assessment" which is then used by the organization to "pay" their portion of the taxes. Meanwhile, you still have to pay your portion. Then, if you, God forbid, get a refund, you have to give it back to them.

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
