Pros

Always new experiences to be had. Very enjoyable work atmosphere. Very helpful and friendly staff and co-workers. Some joint offices are open and environs for the staff.

Cons

Melanie Verwoerd is no longer a part of UNICEF. Can be overwhelming when you only stat out and your made part of a big project but it helps you to learn to overcome this anxiety once you've done it.

Pros

Extremely exciting and rewarding professional experience to work for advancing the rights of children with highly committed technical experts. Very good welfare package including health insurance, paternity leave, pension and education for dependents (benefits vary depending on the contract types).

Cons

Almost no job security guaranteed. You will be expected to pouch a post on competitive basis every 2-3 years and posts are cut without hesitation if the management needs be. This is not an organization you may want if the job security is on your priority list. Recruitment process is lengthy - usually taking at least 3 months.
