Pros

International, dynamic, opportunities to gain exposure worldwide. Puts emphasis on equality to hiring and working conditions. It's great to have a big mission to serve people for good because everyone shares underlining motivation to achieve something.

Cons

As organisation is big, there is a certain level of bureaucracy and hierarchy. At times it is hard to navigate. There are a lot of policies and guidelines to follow. Navigating around complex HR related matters is not always easy. Hard part is that most of position has end date when you have to relocate to another country.

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.
