Pros

Great benefits and compensation for the location, and especially compared to similar areas of work in local and national employers. It is always inspiring to contribute to UN mission. This is something privates companies cannot offer

Cons

Poor management. Reality sometimes deviates from the ideals you might have on how decissions are done. Poor Processes in terms of Project Management, Change Management, etc. UNOPS does not seem to be mature enough on how to manage projects and develop business opportunities. On the other hand, UN has an incredibly deep resistance to change and a very old-fashion mentality. Too much political game on how initiatives are carried over.

Pros

The development team in Bangkok and Copenhagen are the only teams among all UN agencies which implements SCRUM for development of its projects. Great place to learn.

Cons

Other departments are more political and has a very strict type of management with no flexibility for staffs.
