Pros

UNDP provides a opportunity to really learn about global development challenges.

Cons

Put thought into the type of experience that you would like to have. If you prefer more hands-on experience, it would be beneficial to work at the country level. At the country level, you will be able to gain some experience working with grass roots organisations and other partners on the ground. If you work at the regional level, it will predominantly be high-level work (writing reports, doing research and analysis), so think about the type of experience you would like to have.
