Pros

Their mission in very appealing and broad which allows them to do lots of things in different areas. Big network of talented and specialized development professionals.

Cons

Due to the broad mandate UNDP does too much and not always good. Should also do more on talent scouting and promotion.

As with most UN agencies, the access and actual work can be very exciting. This is true especially in countries where UN has a good relationship with the government.
