      Pros

      Fulfilling and motivating work. You can see the organisation making a difference in people's lives and be a part of it. A career with UNHCR is anything but boring and there are many opportunities to try out various jobs in different countries.

      Cons

      Rotation system between duty stations can be hard to ensure stability for the families of staff. It can be a source of stress and frustration as rotation happens at regular times and frequently, the jobs on offer are in dangerous duty stations where family members cannot reside.

      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.
