Business outlook
Pros
It's a golden cage, especially if you're fixed term. WIPO's the richest UN agency and has a corporate feel. Beautiful buildings and outward work environment.
Cons
Corrupt and politicized management and promotions, scandals, toxicity galore, sexual harassment, incompetence, narcissism. HR treats employees like the enemy. DG rules the his kingdom with an iron fist. Rules mean nothing. Few fixed term staff, most showed up 20 years ago with few skills and never left nor learned. Everyone else works hard but don't bet on a promotion unless you're connected.
