      Good on the resume, but not substantively interesting

      Summer intern

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      UNICEF certainly has name-brand recognition, and for that reason, even an unpaid internship can be prestigious and look good on the resume.

      Cons

      In my particular experience, I wasn't utilized to the fullest, or anywhere near the fullest, of my capabilities. In terms of skills and professional development, it was a waste of time.

      Good compensation but no opportunities for growth or benefits; the bureaucracy and politics are often stifling.

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      UNICEF's mission is important nd it's work is critical. You'll find lots of smart, committed people from all over the world, and learn a lot about the logistics and politics of humanitarian aid. The compensation is good for consultants, though they'll see no benefits.

      Cons

      The bureaucracy and office politics are overwhelming. The organization hires mid level professionals for entry level work and often allows them to stagnate.

      Great opportunities are available for learning and development

      Monitoring and evaluation officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In addition to the learning opportunities, UNICEF work is all about the protection of the rights of children and women and working with governments to improve their lives. If you love humanitarian work then you would be a good resource that UNICEF would appreciate, as this UN entitity continues the good fight of working with disadvantaged/vulnerable groups.

      Cons

      The turn around time in staff recruitment can cause UNICEF to lose great skill sets that could advance the work of the organisation.
