Pros

Completed a six-month internship at the UN Secretariat in New York HQ. Mentors and colleagues were exceptionally supportive. Workload was manageable, varying by department. Most valuable aspect was gaining extensive exposure to international organizations and multilateral diplomacy processes. Excellent opportunity for those interested in global affairs careers.

Cons

All Secretariat internships are unpaid, and interns must purchase their own medical insurance. There are very limited opportunities for conversion to permanent positions, so this may not be suitable for those urgently seeking full-time employment.

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
