Pros

The mandate. Supporting countries in making the best decisions for children. Really nice team overall (may depend on what your team is).

Cons

When based in New-York, missions mean lot of jetlag and lost weekends. No career path upward for technical specialists after a while (you get into management, but if you do not like it, there are few options).

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
