Pros

Overall salary is very good, with good benefits and insurance.

Cons

The mandatory rotation policy brings extra job insecurity - don't assume the organization will 'place' you somewhere; instead you should always keep applying to jobs which is frustrating.

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.
