      Pros

      Meaningful work International and diverse colleagues Regular training and learning opportunities Great health insurance coverage

      Cons

      UNHCR compels local staff in countries to take up G Level positions who carry out the SAME work as international staff, international staff gets paid international salary in USD while local staff gets paid a small local salary. Staff are treated as dispensable because there's always new recruits wanting to join UN agencies. UNHCR work can also be emotionally heavy, UNHCR needs to take more proactive steps to protect staff mental health.

      Pros

      Good benefits, you really do help people

      Cons

      Human Resources takes a highly specialized approach to talent management. In that you cannot really change functions easily in UNHCR. You have to hyper-specialize in one area. So if you are a protection staff, you tend to burn out from trauma without an internal mechanism to alleviate the burnout. The higher you go in UNHCR, the crazier you become.
