Pros

I joined UNDP in 1992 and worked at Country Office, Headquarters and Regional level. The work is very exciting, with lots of talented professionals and in a very multi-cultural environment. I really loved working there for 23 years. I identify myself with UN core values. My view of UNDP in all positive. I is a great place to work and contribute with development projects worldwide.

Cons

Expect to work long hours
