Good job with downfalls

Pros

International work-environment, Intelligent and interesting co-workers, good benefits (you do not pay tax and can shop in the discount UN grocery store), 9-5 job,

Cons

I was a fellow and it is very difficult to land a fixed contract. People who worked there for 6 years were still on 3 months contracts (even though they went o universities like Colombia and were hard-working) If you have a fixed contract you have to move around and live in different countries. Many of these countries are dangerous like for example Somalia and Afghanistan.
