      Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your time working at UNFPA. Career development and, where possible, career progression (internal/external) of our staff is very important to UNFPA. In addition to the HR Strategic Partners based in the Regional Offices, an HR colleague works on career development issues to help staff achieve their career goals. Our career guide available on the website is a publication that provides a broad range of career guidance and advice for staff at UNFPA and beyond.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Remote work, mission-driven, name recognition of the UN. Workload was not overwhelming, leading to good work-life balance.

      Cons

      The most disorganized organization I've ever worked for. Consultants were treated inhumanely - denied basic labor rights. Constant backbiting among team leaders pitted consultants against each other. Problems with incredibly easy solutions spiraled out of control due to the complete incompetency of leaders. Racist/colonialist mindset a major issue at HQ.
