Vantaggi
You’ll get to learn from real experts in their respective fields, and also contribute to programs that make meaningful impacts in partner countries.
Svantaggi
As with all government work, sometimes there can be a bit of bureaucracy. Though MCC is less bureaucratic than other agencies, and junior officers also have the opportunity to sit in important meetings and be involved in important conversations, sometimes it can feel like your skills are underused for things such as taking notes, managing calendars, etc. People are also really committed to what they do, so it can feel like you also have to work all the time to demonstrate your commitment to the work and the mission. And there will be late night/early morning meetings, given the international nature of the work.
