      Pros

      I worked in Geneva, HQ and it is a very safe and nice place, the office is easily accessible, colleagues from all over the world and working hrs are good.

      Cons

      No carrer growth, no recognition of achievements, talent retention is non existent, many useless people in perm jobs who are dead wood and prevent younger ones from getting ahead by any means. Lots of back stabbing, rumours and pointless restructures lead to a very low morale. In the end was happy yo leave.

      Pros

      Good benefits, you really do help people

      Cons

      Human Resources takes a highly specialized approach to talent management. In that you cannot really change functions easily in UNHCR. You have to hyper-specialize in one area. So if you are a protection staff, you tend to burn out from trauma without an internal mechanism to alleviate the burnout. The higher you go in UNHCR, the crazier you become.
