Pros

There's a lot to learn, love the different cultures you interact with since all nationalities are represented, immense opportunities for growth, and wonderful colleagues.

Cons

Can be difficult to introduce change or innovations especially if you're not at the top.. Delays in approvals and integration of staff engagement activities.. Since there's too much going on. Short term contracts are a discouragement as you can't really accomplish much in a short time..

Pros

The UNGA is a busy time at the UN, this provides a lot of excellent experience. The team works well and tries its best to ensure it is a beneficial one. Unlike many internships related to the UN, it is paid a stipend, which makes a difference

Cons

The stipend is not quite enough to live on, but it is fair for 3 days a week.

Management does not always coach employees in new roles and too much turnover. Difficulties in balancing work and family life when you're hired on a contract basis.
