Pros

High salary and tax excemption.

Cons

If you are a male, don't go this women-dominated money-losing organization. Women treat male employees in a disgraceful manner, allowing themselves to behave and speak to men in an intolerable way. The organization severely punishes any inappropriate behavior if it is committed by a male follower against a female. If a woman commits any serious act against a man, there are no legal consequences, no workplace consequences, and even the Ethics Office and the OIAI will do everything they can to sweep the matter under the rug. Destroying a UNICEF vehicle in the underground garage and trying to hide it from management? No problem, if you're a woman. Speaking aggressively to colleagues? No problem, if you're a woman. Lying about work, about others? No problem, if you're a woman. If you are in a position to do so, feel free to invite your friends to do meaningless work for $6-7,000 a month, just emphasize often that you are a woman and that you are doing all this for the sake of your children.

Pros

As a staff, we have incredible benefits including health insurance, parental leave of 24 weeks for mothers and 30 days annual leave. We have the ability to work with diverse partners from government to NGOs and private sectors.

Cons

As a UN staff, we have several restrictions regarding outside activities, to prevent conflict of interest.
