Pros

Working at UNICEF is working with an International organization which takes care of children in war zones and children whose parents are not financially fit to send their children to school. Also, you work and gain international civil servant experience.

Cons

As a local high in the IT section, we don't have the opportunity for stretch assignment. Meaning the opportunities to move from one duty station to another as IT Assistant hired locally.

Great place if you love children

Pros

It aspires to ideals that can make you stay. Women also get 6 months maternity leave with full pay. UNICEF puts its money where its mouth is.

Cons

Because it works in the spirit of the Paris Principles of Aid Effectiveness, which demands you align with government and work through government systems, bureaucracy can dampen your spirit here sometimes.
