I'd be surprised if a tenth of their budget actually goes to the children

Pros
it looks very good on a resume. it gives people the impression that you're a smart do-gooder. their positions almost always pay above market price.
Cons
if your goal is to improve children's welfare, then work somewhere else. thanks to its successful branding, unicef is probably the most effective fundraiser in the non profit world. and perhaps just like any other organizations in the real world, when money comes so easily, wasteful spending behaviors tend to follow. these guys send people out to india for 3 days on a $7000 budget just to count computers in a field office. it gives me chills thinking how many children can be fed with that money.
