Working on important and intellectually challenging issues. Generally great colleagues and inter-agency contact.

Intensely hierarchical management and decision making processes. Endless 'shiny new' conceptual frameworks/monitoring frameworks. Work life balance poor. Limited opportunities to advance within technical speciality.

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.
