Pros

Interesting colleagues, chance to go on mission to work in humanitarian situations also.

Cons

Contract is awful. Only 2 days paid leave a year. Unless you go on mission, lots of talk about change but no long term impact measurement, and most work done through 3rd party field partners anyways.

Business Outlook

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.
