Rewarding work in the field but difficult to get in (as regular staff) - Associate Protection Officer (UNV) UNHCR Employee Review

multicultural work experience open to telework from home some days better benefits for international positions and more opportunities for career growth

not easy to always have work balance, depending on the position not many opportunities for career growth for local positions

Good benefits, you really do help people

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.
