looks good on a cv.

unfortunately, a corrupted organization where you get employed if you know someone mainly. very little chance is given to people whom are not connected to anyone. There is no or very little team spirit.

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.
