Good stepping stone in your career

Chief

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's not overly bureaucratic or hierarchical. You can get things done there. Salary is generous plus other benefits and entitlements make working at the OSCE a pretty good prospect (although many would say the benefits are not as good as those at the UN).

Cons

Constant threat of budget cuts is discouraging. Not a place for professional staff to develop a long-term career because P staff have to leave after 7 years of service. This rule leads to an unhealthy dynamic in the Organization.
