Inept management and horrendous career development - Associate United Nations Employee Review

Pros

Most diverse workforce you will find anywhere; benefits; free language classes

Cons

This is probably the best place to work if you're generally unskilled and looking to stay and work in the US at US levels of pay. If you are actively looking to advance in your career and you are skilled, don't apply here because you will be stuck and unappreciated. The rules and procedures are too complex for staff to understand. Work processes are rote and unchangeable, thus innovation is almost impossible. Resources, such as IT equipment and software, are ancient. The biggest con is that senior managers are paid exorbitant amounts of money to do, in most cases, less work than their support staff do who are getting paid less than half as much, and even less. There are no true leaders here, no one that engenders inspiration.

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
