Pros

You work for an organization with high values, aiming to make a better world. Good organization to have it in your CV. Training opportunities. Benefits (depending on your type of contract).

Cons

Benefits (depending on your type of contract: ie, consultants working in NY don't get a medical insurance, no vacation - although it can be arranged unpaid time off at the discretion of supervisor). Extremely hierarchical organization, slow bureaucracy. Job insecurity. Work life balance non existent.
