      Pros

      Interesting and important work related to the madate

      Cons

      Getting an international position is basically impossible and they only want to promote those already in the system. Even if you are experienced and good at your job there are minimal opportunities for growth or crossing over into the international professionl category.

      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.
