      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good salary, Benefits: 6 weeks annual leave, paid sick leave, insurance, pension plan, flexible work schedule, above-average office environment, you can meet interesting people from all over the world. Overall work environment is calmer than before.

      Cons

      Uneven management, Internal and International Politics can influence many things, Recruitment can be slow, favoritism, Morale can be low especially for long time staff and general service, a cumbersome review process which doesn't seem to serve any real purpose. Funding is not always reliable.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Remote work, mission-driven, name recognition of the UN. Workload was not overwhelming, leading to good work-life balance.

      Cons

      The most disorganized organization I've ever worked for. Consultants were treated inhumanely - denied basic labor rights. Constant backbiting among team leaders pitted consultants against each other. Problems with incredibly easy solutions spiraled out of control due to the complete incompetency of leaders. Racist/colonialist mindset a major issue at HQ.
