Pros

Dream job. Unbelievable opportunity to learn about the most groundbreaking topics in international economic affairs. You'll work with the best-educated persons from countries of all UN-Member-States. Opportunity of a lifetime. Seize it.

Cons

They've added a staff council and a dispute settlement system since I worked there, which I believe addresses the problems I saw while there. Unfortunately due to the U.S. funding cuts, jobs currently held are being cut 20% under the UN80 proposals by UN management. This is an effort to protect the UN and more-or-less to save the multilateral system. In this light, at this time, I'll withhold criticism. The UN and the multilateral system is important for the world, and I support 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
