Pros

Looks good on CV, opportunity to travel.

Cons

Demotivated staff, excessive bureaucracy, and an organization that struggles to justify its existence. Work is based on ego projects, such as writing fancy reports, that no one reads. Huge amount of money spent on consultants doing pointless projects. I literally didn't meet a single colleague in my team of 30 who was happy with the work they were doing.

Pros

- Interesting projects to work on and inspirational work environment - Very experienced and kind colleagues - Great hands-on experience

Cons

- No compensation for interns - No structure or learning path for the intership, it was clear that I was brought to the team to mitigate a high workload, which resulted in needing to be extremely proactive to the extent of having to beg people to give me something to do, even if I could tell that everyone had lots on their plates. - My supervisor was always very busy. I only had the opportunity to meet her twice in 6 months, and often forgot or missed communicating important information regarding my internship. - I didn't hear anything from the team until I reached out on the first day of my internship agreement. You really need to put yourself out there and be pushy from time to time. - Administrative processes can be extrimey time consuming and frustrating; it took me a whole month to get a UN email, never got an intership certificate.
