Pros

Wonderful people that truly care about the cause. UNICEF does amazing work globally.

Cons

UNICEF Canada has a toxic, hostile work culture where harassment and bullying are not addressed. Not able/willing to accommodate employees with disabilities. Mandated return to work and moving away from hybrid/remote options. Leadership lacks strategy. They set unrealistic goals with no real plan to accomplish them. Canadian CEO is new and fully out of her depth. Very high turnover and generally unhappy staff.
