WIPO reviews about "benefit"

> Very high work loads at times, that puts extra pressure on teams -- workload could be managed better by unit heads and above > There are some management issues but nothing too extreme > IT restrictions are high and often interferes with trying to do work

Despite the new DG's efforts, still a bureaucratic, stolid culture.

Politics lack of coordination project delays

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 .

retired from WIPO end of 2021

No benefits compared to permanent positions.

While the salary and benefits are very high, the cost of living in Geneva are equally high and largely cancel out the salary/benefits to make WIPO no better paying than any other employer Many people seem to have gotten the job through connections or a deal is made where the Director General will appoint a given person if their country agrees to vote for said Director General. Furthermore many countries lobby for a particular person to be hired which is unfair.
