Pros

International, dynamic, opportunities to gain exposure worldwide. Puts emphasis on equality to hiring and working conditions. It's great to have a big mission to serve people for good because everyone shares underlining motivation to achieve something.

Cons

As organisation is big, there is a certain level of bureaucracy and hierarchy. At times it is hard to navigate. There are a lot of policies and guidelines to follow. Navigating around complex HR related matters is not always easy. Hard part is that most of position has end date when you have to relocate to another country.

Pros

UNHCR puts a lot of emphasis on staff well being and has been progressively ensuring the staff well being is considered in the policies being adapted

Cons

Most of the regions/areas UNHCR operations are located in are in deep field so staff have to be ready to work in these areas.
