You get the opportunity to work with amazing people and work towards relevant and meaningful goals. There are the perks include sitting in on high-level meetings (though some are shut) and to see diplomacy in action.

Cons

During the summer, it can get tedious. And as an unpaid intern in NYC, it's expensive.

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
