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

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
