Vantaggi

Compelling cause and highly reputed UN organisation putting you at the core of some of the most challenging issues of the 21st century, namely humanitarian aid and forced migration. Very good salarial conditions.

Svantaggi

very bureaucratic, hierarchical and un-social employment system. There are a lot of constraints with long working hours and poor work-life balance. Also lots of frustrated senior managers who then out their frustration on lower positioned or national staff. Extremely slow if not impossible development perspectives in-house.

Vantaggi

Good benefits, you really do help people

Svantaggi

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.
