Pros

International exposure and ability to work anywhere in the world. Improves communication skills tremendously since working successfully requires communicated to people from various parts of the world.

Cons

Very bureaucratic which should not be a surprise given that it is a UN organization. Very difficult to move from one department/job/function to another. Little to no possibility of growth unless you are in the right company. There is no future here for you if you are ambitious, career oriented and want to go places.

Pros

Overall working for UNOPS has been excellent. Middle and senior management (in my unit) is very good. Competent, trust worthy people who follow through on their commitments to their team and treat everyone equally. The work is varied and diverse and there is a genuine team spirit where people have a desire to help each other out. The working culture is very international which for me is a plus. From a work perspective I can only recommend.

Cons

All offices have their own management, with varied competency. When working with other offices the level of cooperation and quality of work can vary, from excellent to poor. The majority of people employed with UNOPS are on short term (up to 1 year) contracts which do not offer much in the way of long-term security.
