An incompetent organization that should be shut down. Toxic, especially for women.

Monitoring officer

Business Outlook

Pros

After working for OSCE, you will be able to quickly spot toxic work environments and and incompetent, lazy management.

Cons

The OSCE exists to provide jobs for alcoholic mediocre former diplomats who find themselves unemployable. The list of cons is endless. Women are harassed, belittled, and demeaned with no repercussions. It's like stepping back in time to the year 1850. Management abuses their authority with impunity. Work ethic is non-existent. Incompetence reigns. Pay is paltry in conflict zones. After making the mistake of accepting a position in this organization, I would never work for another international organization. I feel lucky to have escaped. For the good of the world, this organization should be shuttered immediately.

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Interesting and professional staff I worked with; 2. Good salary; 3. Work and life balance; 4. Opportunity to work with people of different backgrounds, nationalities, views.

Cons

1. Non-career organization. Maximum duration of service is 7 years; 2. No remuneration for seconded mission/staff members. They get BLA only. However, rich countries pay their secondees decent salaries; 3. Systematic late approval of the Unified Budget, as well as the Zero Nominal Growth policy for the last 5-6 years; 4. I noticed that the OSCE prefers to recruit internal candidates for international contracted posts. Many high qualified professional do not apply for such posts being confident tgat the will not get them.
