Pros

Nice colleagues, beautiful location on the water, value driven mission where as staff at all levels and all functions have a tangible impact. Solid procedures. Strategic and interesting work depending on role. Good communication from senior management. WFH and remote work flexibilities. Career opportunities if willing to rotate out of Denmark. Significant effort to provide staff support over the last few years - trainings, management support, and other staff development opportunities. Organization has provided significant support to staff during a difficult year in 2025 including outplacement and career coaching.

Cons

Can be long hours depending on role and level, hard to find the work-life balance if in mid-senior level. - Feedback, coaching and mentoring from supervisors not always provided - Uncertainty around whether valued as staff and if contribution recognized.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
