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

Lots of hands-on experience, responsibilities, lots of things to do, you won't be bored, HQ has great offices, very good policies with their staff

Cons

If you are deployed to the field UNOPS will not take care of you. You may remain on short term consultancy contracts even for six years in remote hardship locations, without R&R, nor will you get all the good stuff that fix term staff enjoys. Once funding is finished, you will be released, do not expect anything from this company
