Poor HR service for local staff at UNICEF BiH

Pros

Good compensation, interesting and stimulating working environment

Cons

For local staff positions in the office in Sarajevo they used to place someone internally and were only interviewing to meet HR's compliance. The same story goes for short-term/consultant local staff positions, they select ones for who they get recommendations by local ministry offices. Accordingly, talented, experienced and passionate individuals have no access opportunities. No transparency in the whole process.

Pros

The most noble mandate one can work with. Even a simple graduate can dream to become a country head here.

Cons

Horses and mules run together. Little appreciation for cerebral capabilities. Difficult to maintain work life balance.

Pros

Being able to work for the improvement of children's lives is such a fulfilling job. And the environment is always of teamwork and very pleasant.

Cons

Too administrative and very little chances of professional growth if you don't know the right person.
