Pros

Pay is good Ample leave days Good career advancement if you stay long enough and work for it

Cons

Although being an NGO that is supposed to stand for human rights, nobody cares about the well-being of anyone in UNICEF. The management and HR's priority is to look-good-on-paper, and would rather keep non-contributing individuals on a payroll rather than go through the process of replacing with competent individuals. As expected for an organization this size, the structure is highly rigid. You will spend a lot more time dealing with red tapes than actually do real work. There is no synergy between departments, everyone works in silo and with no motivation, perhaps except for the P4 levels and above.
