Pros

Office is close to commuting /transport. Colleagues are usually normal. Offices are fine.

Cons

There is this phrase I heard: UNHCR eats you then spits you out. Salaries if you are among General staff is not as good as you`d expect, pluse there is a lot to do, forget you initial job description ;) No benefits at all. Company rarely support real, effective studies. Budapest office is quite boring.

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.
