      Pros

      Friendly colleagues Beautiful offices Excellent facilities Good prospects for developing yourself

      Cons

      Under qualified and chaotic management (not all directors - just some) Underperforming HR department with no conflict resolution or bullying processes Bullies are tolerated and promoted 2 tier employment system ICA/LICA versus staff contracts, ICA/LICA contracts are used in place of a normal staff contract when they shouldn't be and against UNOPS own policies. ICA/LICA positions are significantly less well paid and have less benefits than staff contracts. No job security.

      Pros

      Working for a UN agency, international exposure, plenty of room for innovation. Pay is decent. Benefits depend on your contract type. Pretty much zero-sum. ICAs get virtually no benefits while LICA and staff get excellent benefits. ICA base salary is higher than LICA salary, while staff (rare) get the highest pay and best benefits.

      Cons

      Petty competition among leadership is a big problem, directors have cult-like followings which creates a "clique-ish" sort of environment, it can be very toxic at HQ. High turn over is an issue due to job insecurity caused by policy. Hiring can be arbitrary. It's hard to get in as an entry-level professional unless you start off as an intern, which many people do in order to get a foot in the door... so there'll be 30+ year old professionals and 24 year old newly grads doing the same intern work. Lack of any career path definition.
