Business Outlook

Pros

UNICEF does tremendous work overall. Lots of smart intelligent people. Great impact and scale.

Cons

Lack of corrective action on major issues such as harassment, empowerment or negative performance based reviews, allows long term employees to stay, creating more well-paid bureaucrats! Employees are incentivized to do more of the same to not stir the pot - lack of innovation and willingness to take risk.

Business Outlook

Pros

UNICEF has a great mission. Provides opportunities to learn about children rights. Working for any UN Agency, definitely is a great step in anyone career that can help you land a great job outside UN. UNICEF has a strong brand that uses to promote children rights and in the last years has developed a bold style for its massive communications.

Cons

No opportunities to grow up a career. Being promoted is not a possibility if you are in a support position. UNICEF it is one of the most political agency within UN. People at management level are old school and most of the times do not allow young people to develop. Consultants are not taken into account and are often treated as outsiders without benefits.
