Pros

You can get engaged in global governance processes - or rather watch powerful countries govern others. You can get a good insight into the makings of international relations

Cons

Little room for ambition. Typically slow bureucratic process of doing anything from finalising projects to respecting deadlines. Few people actually want to make change in the world. Very backward thinking

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
