Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is very attractive and excellent benefits for staff

Cons

Even though UNICEF always likes to promote healthy work/life balance they never expect it from you. Work environment is HIGHLY political Staff act as if donors are gods and literally bow down to their every word AND how dare you try to make new suggestions that could possibly further development. Sometimes I wonder if these so called donors actually want to help poor countries succeed and be more independent. Lots of spending on development projects takes place every year but little results are achieved and senior level management don't seem to have (or fail to act on) real solutions.

Pros

rewarding work, very nice people to work with, good benefits if you are staff, work-life balance

Cons

Management has no accountability for their bad decisions and foreseeable mistakes. There are senior managers who do not know how to hire and manage people, let alone retain the talent they have. I have seen nepotism over and over again in the 3 years I have been in the organization.

Pros

Great benefits, medical and dental coverage one of the best in the city. Amazing, culturally diverse environment to work in. Great place to learn as everyone is from all sorts of different professional backgrounds/countries

Cons

Everyone is overworked. Some teams are better than others—in some, General Staff tend to not be valued much yet are extremely overworked and overstretched, not really heard.
