Pros

Interesting work, talented colleagues, great office, lots of opportunities to do field trips. UNICEF definitely making a difference in lots of ways. Excellent salary for the sector.

Cons

Management are technically very skilled, but not always great at actual management. Limited opportunities for advancement. Can be quite a bureaucratic environment. Unsuccessful job seekers often not notified - even if they've had an interview which is quite disrespectful.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
