      Pros

      While the actual effectiveness of the agency in my particular location was extremely debatable, the people were very professional and tried to do their best.

      Cons

      Everything HR-related: from informing about the interview outcome (via telephone call) onboarding (which is virtually non-existent, at least in my location) to separation from service (part of the salary is withheld and it can take many months to receive the remaining amount, lack of communication from HQ about timelines).

      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.
