Pros

Really believe in the mandate to work for the good of all children; professional, caring and expert program staff in the field and at HQ

Cons

As the work is so focused on delivering services, sometimes the well-being of the staff falls by the wayside. The workload is heavy and burnout is a risk for international and local staff.

Pros

Somewhat relaxed atmosphere, wasn't micromanaged on daily basis, small local offices have a lot of freedom. Very good environment for younger inexperienced workers to get some experience, practice foreign language, learn the culture in another country and find out how corporate world operates.

Cons

Part time workers are not paid so well, expected to work on call, weekends too. There is always chance to be relocated, even to another country if they lack of resources.

UNICEF: A good school, but not a chance to develop a career

Pros

Working for an organization with great reputation and the most important cause: the welfare of children. Multi-cultural environment.

Cons

Not always coherent between what promotes for women and children vs. the benefits for its employees. Too much burocracy. Too less autonomy (extremely vertical organization).
