Pros

You work for an organization with high values, aiming to make a better world. Good organization to have it in your CV. Training opportunities. Benefits (depending on your type of contract).

Cons

Benefits (depending on your type of contract: ie, consultants working in NY don't get a medical insurance, no vacation - although it can be arranged unpaid time off at the discretion of supervisor). Extremely hierarchical organization, slow bureaucracy. Job insecurity. Work life balance non existent.

Pros

Interesting work that can hopefully help people, good salary and benefits.

Cons

The organization can be slow and bureaucratic, but this is highly dependent on the management at that particular time (it rotates every 3 years or so). Furthermore, in developing countries it can be difficult to deal with the counterpart (usually Government), but that (and the ensuing frustration) is part of the challenge.
