Pros

meet some amazing people from around the world; excitement of working in a multi cultural environment; real exposure to global events and impact while at the same time trying to do something about it

Cons

there is a culture of fear that trickles down from upper management - especially in the department of public information - management looks out for themselves only and cooperation is lacking; it appears that upper management holds onto permanent jobs at all costs - very machiavellian attitude

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
