Pros

Opportunities to work creativly and directly with host country officials. Although a UN agency, UNOPS is project-based and so you have to apply higher level efficiencies and business practices than normally required for UN work.

Cons

HQ structure limits growth and creativity at times. Very age sensitive structure; if you are young or without a masters degree you will have to stay in one position for a longer time period.
