Pros

The UN is a prestigious name, and it offers a secure job with great benefits. Working with different people around the world and dealing with global issues in the job is a special experience.

Cons

I often felt frustrated because things and changes took forever to be done. Meetings really didn't expedite anything and many of the upper-level officials (UN or UN-related organizations) are quite apathetic and political, and that's just not right in a place like the UN.

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
