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.
