      No growth opportunities. Good comp and benefits.

      Pros

      Great cause, prestige on the resume. Partners want to talk to you and work with you. Depending on where you come from, benefits are great and comp is great.

      Cons

      You have little to no decision-making power and do largely administrative work. If you are a young and motivated professional staff, do your time here and get out before you get golden handcuffed and die a secretary.

      Pros

      multicultural environment, global context, public health. good pay and benefits. relatively easy work. UN if you believe in that. a few good and inspiring men and women but dont expect they are the norm

      Cons

      dysfunctional HR (slow and opaque recruitment, no career development, performance management not taken seriously). too many underperformers at all levels.

      Pros

      Good pay and good place to work - I mean it's the WHO what more can I say?

      Cons

      But still HR system is very experience based. if you want to work here, you need to work somewhere else at least 10 years
