Pros

Great benefits and compensation for the location, and especially compared to similar areas of work in local and national employers. It is always inspiring to contribute to UN mission. This is something privates companies cannot offer

Cons

Poor management. Reality sometimes deviates from the ideals you might have on how decissions are done. Poor Processes in terms of Project Management, Change Management, etc. UNOPS does not seem to be mature enough on how to manage projects and develop business opportunities. On the other hand, UN has an incredibly deep resistance to change and a very old-fashion mentality. Too much political game on how initiatives are carried over.

Pros

International exposure and ability to work anywhere in the world. Improves communication skills tremendously since working successfully requires communicated to people from various parts of the world.

Cons

Very bureaucratic which should not be a surprise given that it is a UN organization. Very difficult to move from one department/job/function to another. Little to no possibility of growth unless you are in the right company. There is no future here for you if you are ambitious, career oriented and want to go places.
