Politics and inefficiency

Business Outlook

Pros

Higher than market average pay rate, additional perks if you are recruited as international professional. Used to be job security, but Unicef is currently shaken by series of workforce transformation initiatives, which in plain words means offshoring, outsourcing and job cuts.

Cons

Bureaucratic, inefficient and very slow. No resilience, and change is being opposed, rather than embraced in many cases. No real performance enforcement, so people who haven't been working for years are plentiful, and no one knows how to get rid of them. The interoffice politics are abundant and often used as coverups for non compliance. No clear vision, thus many operate purely on transactional level.
