      Pros

      You learn about international protection There are so many opportunities to do great things in partnership with local NGO and other actors

      Cons

      Poorly managed - there's a lot of very negative office politics - people with the right connexions get high-level jobs created for them, internal competition between sections working towards the same goal, interns are not paid and work weekends and late night. Absolutely no work-life balance. It's normal to call you at 11pm during the weekend for nothing urgent.

      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.
