Pros

Respectable mandate and opportunities to work in different countries

Cons

Full of obnoxious and angry people, recruitment is totally opaque. There's absolutely no place for those who want to think out of the box. If you carry a family, you'll be mostly considered as a heavy burden for the organisation.

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.
