Thank you for the feedback. Career development and, where possible, career progression (internal/external) of our staff is very important to UNFPA. In addition to the HR Strategic Partners based in the Regional Offices, an HR colleague works on career development issues to help staff achieve their career goals. Recently, UNFPA finalized a new Career Guide for UNFPA Staff Members http://www.unfpa.org/resources/career-guide-unfpa-staff-members. This publication provides a broad range of career guidance and advice for staff at UNFPA and beyond. It has been translated into French. In addition, three new trainings (Preparing Written Applications, Interviewing for Applicants, and Career Connections) are being piloted in English in July 2016.

Pluspunten

Remote work, mission-driven, name recognition of the UN. Workload was not overwhelming, leading to good work-life balance.

Minpunten

The most disorganized organization I've ever worked for. Consultants were treated inhumanely - denied basic labor rights. Constant backbiting among team leaders pitted consultants against each other. Problems with incredibly easy solutions spiraled out of control due to the complete incompetency of leaders. Racist/colonialist mindset a major issue at HQ.
