Pros

people are laid back, the work involves a lot of up to date research which is challenging in a good way.

Cons

people you research and interview about are refugees so after a while the work itself may cause secondary trauma.

Pros

Good benefits, you really do help people

Cons

Human Resources takes a highly specialized approach to talent management. In that you cannot really change functions easily in UNHCR. You have to hyper-specialize in one area. So if you are a protection staff, you tend to burn out from trauma without an internal mechanism to alleviate the burnout. The higher you go in UNHCR, the crazier you become.
