Pros

Many dedicated people who really are trying to make the world a better place. International work force. Commitment to work-life balance was real and I felt I could leave work at the office.

Cons

Highly bureaucratic. Older white men seem hold the preponderance of manger roles. Entry-level employment practices are deeply unfair, privileging people from rich backgrounds and developed nations. Preference for internal hiring and use of UN volunteers and consultants meant that you had to accept uncertainty and low pay for years to be considered for more permanent positions.
