      Good organization with a strong mission.

      Pros

      The organization has a strong mission, and the benefits package is very generous compared to even most private sector companies. However, to stay in WFP long-term, you realize the compensation is quite high because you are expected to make pretty large personal sacrifices.

      Cons

      The contracts can be short and unstable. The organization is quite reliant on consultants, all of whom have to go on forced contract breaks for 1 month a year just so the organization can say they are not staff (so they can't claim extra benefits). It's definitely a problem in HQ.

      WFP is not a bad place to work, but work environment represent general moribund United Nations style.

      Pros

      Salary is excellent especially taking into account that it is a tax free income.

      Cons

      Typical moribund United Nations approach. Those with good connections in their governments and respective embassies - get jobs and go up very fast, those without - are constantly kept either on short term consultancy contracts or as G staff (administrative assistants).

      World Food Program USA (specifically) was the worst work experience of my life.

      Pros

      Colleagues. Mission. Benefits. WFH Fridays

      Cons

      To be clear, I am talking specifically about World Food Program USA. Toxic leadership among some of the senior team. Lack of transparency. Blaming. Lack of integrity. Fear induced work environment. Act like employees are disposable.
