A very typical criminal organization

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

UN benefits (salary post adjustment, and other benefits) and location in Geneva.

Cons

WIPO is fully corrupt and rotten. It operates as a very typical criminal organization. Being WIPO staff I faced mobbing, sexual harassment and assault, obstruction of justice and brutal retaliation. WIPO internal justice system, is fully corrupt. Its DGs (Daren Tang - current and Francis Gurry-previous ) and senior management team simply protect the harassers and are incriminated in numerous violations including attacks on free media. IOD, HRMD, Ethics officer, Office of Legal Counsel and WIPO Internal Oversight and Advisory Committee just abuse the system with the only goal to protect the harassers. Likewise, Member States do not car and all of them just benefits the corrupt system .

Pros

UN salary and benefits, nice lifestyle in Geneva, contribution to pension fund : ONLY IN CASE YOU SURVIVE IN WIPO

Cons

Totally corrupt organization! I noticed the recent comment from WIPO legal counsel about nice environment at WIPO. The Office of Legal Counsel jointly with IOD and HRMD was systematically involved in covering up crimes and systematic violation of fundamental human rights in WIPO; The management created unbearable work condition. For ease of reference, former ethics officer of WIPO was forced to committed suicide because of bulling and harassment. This fact was reported by different sources including the former Deputy Director General of WIPO who was pushed out from the Organization because he exposed corruption and violation of international sanctions, you can check the article "The Need for Accountability at the World Intellectual Property Organization" published by IP watchdog. They practiced the same approach with the victim oof sexual harassment and rape at WIPO done by senior IOD officer and misinformed the member states about sexual harassment issues at WIPO! Again, WIPO is not only totally corrupt, in a civilized world, WIPO Administration would potentially face criminal charges for all forms of harassment, cover up of sexual harassment and rape, retaliation, and breach of international sanctioned and procurement rules. BE AWARE and STAY AWAY FROM WIPO! You will face barbaric treatment and will be crashed!

WIPO: A Golden Cage

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Great salary, compensation package is huge.

Cons

Many managers at WIPO should never even get close to a managerial position. The Senior Management Team is mostly fighting between each other. The organization is extremely political and promotions are almost impossible if you don't have your government behind you or if you don't have strong backup within the organization. It's like a gold cage: Financially very good but intellectually it is an insult to work for WIPO.
