Pros

At its core, the UN is a humanitarian organization and it is an honorable profession if one can ignore the politics and bureaucracy. It pays well and the benefits are good, especially for professional staff members. It's an exciting organization to work for, especially in the field or for peacekeeping missions.

Cons

Very difficult to enter into the system without knowing anyone on the inside. Often times vacancies posted are done so because it is a HR requirement. The majority of the positions are already meant for a particular individual.

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
