A good organisation to work for

Pros

WFP' mission is, on a general level is to meet the emergency needs of victims of natural and man-made disasters, displaced people, and more generally the world's hungry poor. One really feels the engagement of senior staff in achieving this goal and the strong ethical direction taken by the organisation.

Cons

Unfortunately, work contracts nowadays are often short term, renewable, whether for consultants or support staff. This can be demotivating in the long run as one cannot really plan long term.

Pros

The international experience is unbelievable. So many professionals from all over the world, lots to learn. Fast paced environment, teaches you that you either lobby for yourself, or you're out.

Cons

A very swim or drown environment. You need to know the right people in order to get places. Very difficult to land a stable contract, the constant networking/lobbying can get very tiring.
