      Business Outlook

      Pros

      they pay above market people are nice usually and there is diversity (you really can be who you really are)

      Cons

      very beurocratic, there is no such thing as "it makes sense" there is rather "it's in the rules" and the rules cannot be changed. I was a local staff member and there is a clear distinction from people who are "international professionals" - their word is much more valuable than that of the "locals" I admire what UNICEF does as an organization but as an employee it was not a good experience (worked at the GSSC)

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      UNICEF has a great mandate, they do fantastic work implementing programs that are actually impactful. Acquired good knowledge and understanding of how the UN works and a lot of useful skills related to the development programs.

      Cons

      Job insecurity, instability. No compensation, benefits for consultants (aka non-staff), who carry out the work of staff. Poor management. Highly hierarchical and bureaucratic institution.
