Pros

Great environment and room for growth. It is a job I look forward going to on Mondays and I would recommend it to everyone

Cons

Bureaucracy is very big. For answers and decisions to even small things you need to wait for months so that can put off many people

Pros

The mandate of the organization is brilliant, as is the international presence and gravitas associated. UNICEF has the opportunity to scale-up innovative thinking and proven humanitarian and development practices even in difficult crisis circumstances to achieve meaningful socio-economic change and promotion of human rights.

Cons

The organization is ill equipped to manage crisis. Programme policy frameworks, human resource and management practices are out-dated. The culture of the organization does not foster growth of staff, knowledge sharing and building of expertise. The institutional culture is mired in bureaucratic procedures and mini-mafia's. The lack of transparency and lack of accountability for Senior and Executive management does not promote an empowered staff and is permissive to abusive behaviours.
