Great place to work, if you go with the flow... - Research Assistant United Nations Employee Review

Pros

The pay, the mission, and mostly the people make it worth it. Being part of a global enterprise. These are all reasons to work for the UN.

Cons

If you are in the need of "hand-holding" in the HR process... don't even bother. Even after 65 years, this is still a "pick-yourself-up-from-the-bootstraps" organization. You need to constantly ask questions and expect to look for things yourself. More often than not you will be pleasantly surprised with what you find. You just have to find it.

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
