Pros

It is challenging, dinamic and provides you an opportunity to work in a truly multinational and multicultural environment. It is also well paid.

Cons

Sometimes it might get risky, especially when you work in a conflict or post-conflict environment. Depending on mission one might get separated from family for a longer period of time.

Business Outlook

Pros

- powerful mandate, interesting fields of work, especially for those interested in human rights, politics, engineering (incl. hydro stations), environment; - good social package, excellent pension plan (much-much better than in UN), vacations for fixed-term staff; - atmosphere is much healthier than in UN, people are generally friendly to each other; - good possibilities for internal staff to move up a career ladder and/or to another locations.

Cons

- maximum of 7 years of one-location service, + 3 more years on another location for international and seconded staff (with some exceptions). However, this might be considered as biggest advantage, as people will give space for newcomers and 'fresh blood'; - a lot of 'dead-wood' local staff, especially in institutions, working for 15 and more years and not letting younger and modern-thinking people to come and shake up the work process; - AX Team as the special contractor supplies air tickets with absolutely crazy prices; - one would think that some seconded staff are taken just from the street to fill up the position, as there is lack of professionalism, education and experience, no respect to work and local staff.
