Pros

Very international work place. While the duty station was Istanbul, there were no Turkish people directly working under our team.

Cons

It is difficult to achieve visible results and realize the effects of development through business. As a result, it is difficult to maintain motivation for work.

Pros

Nice pay and work life balance. Being part of the UN system gives the advantage of career growth. Good for academic growth as well.

Cons

Highly female biased. Qualifications does not matter if the candidate is having basic degree and is a female. Inefficient hands are thus a common feature here from to p to bottom.
