      Pros

      Providing assistance to refugees and humanitarian assistance

      the grade scale is rigid and difficult to move up the ladder. Once you are in a specific grade level, it is hard to move up.

      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.
