Pros

Great cause, the emergency work in countries that need it the most is excellent. Work at the country level is very good in many countries.

Cons

Bureaucracy, lack of innovation, insular mentality, unequal treatment of staff. Friends of senior management get promoted without due process.

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.
