Pros

Good vacation time - 6 wks a year Good benefits - health, sick leave, etc. Management is very understanding regarding "family issues" I like the work - nothing is perfect but it is a very special place

Cons

Promotions can be made on a political basis, less on the basis of good performance. It is extremely difficult to go from the General Service to the Professional service, but pay in both is fair.

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
