Pros

Under a good leadership UNOPS can be a heaven to work in. It gives you all freedom to explore your capabilities, its gives opportunity to its staffs to develop their skills through international professional courses. Its a good employer when the local conditions are favorable.

Cons

On top positions the organization is recruiting people less for leadership and management qualities and more for their connections, which is bringing abrupt closures and failures of projects and offices. The latest example is closure of many UNOPS offices in Asia region, including India Office. the HQ doesn't have a mechanism to retain the offices and its experienced staffs. Its a policy failure, UNOPS looks for short term gain and no long term commitment.

Pros

If you are passionate about development and/or humanitarian issues and want to utilize your project management skills, including budgeting, proposal writing, reporting, donor relations, etc while working internationally or remotely, then this is a great place to work.

Cons

Depending on the team you are deployed to, the job can be hard when working with colleagues from different part of the world since you have to, sometimes, attend meetings really early or late.
