Pros

The pay and the work life balance

Cons

Where to start? Everything is about presentation. People complain of budget cuts but most ppl take 2 hour lunches and innumerable breaks. One of the administration officers is off all the time but is excellent at brown nosing. Promoted despite sheer incompetence. Anyone who blows a whistle can find themselves being denied transparency and most ppl are scared of the leaders. The SAP implementation is neither consultative nor successful but keeps getting held up as some emblem of knighthood - in this place you can get away with nearly everything as long as you play the game. UN? Disappointment.

Pros

International environment; tax-free salary; jobs can be very stable; work experience of intergovernmental organization gives advantage in applying for other jobs at UN agencies; nice colleagues; less pressure than in similar private sector jobs.

Cons

Old-fashioned and inefficient processes that have been sustainable because of sufficient administration staff; slow-moving; organisational culture could be better, but the nature of the organization (people coming and going from many different cultures of course make it challenging to build a long-term, inspirational culture)
