Pros

Good sense of positive impact, good salaries and benefits, supportive team. Great chances for Learning and Development.

Cons

No chance for professional growth if you don't have the proper contract time, seems that this detail defines a lot about you across the organization. Communication with my immediate manager was disappointingly inadequate. The hierarchical structure of the organization made it challenging to engage with other managers without seeking prior permission. This hindered the free flow of information and collaboration, impacting the efficiency of the team. Hard to build an innovative culture, bureaucracy seems to be bigger than its organizational capacity to innovate. This might make many processes really slow and sloppy.

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.
