Pluspunten

The mandate of the organization is clear and aims to protect refugees and promote their rights in the countries where they are hosted. It is satisfying to know that a difference can be made.

Minpunten

Very bureaucratic, top-down structure, where decisions from headquarters are sometimes not appropriate for field-based situations. This can get frustrating for people on the ground. Requires to spend time in dangerous areas before moving to more comfortable places.

Pluspunten

Good benefits, you really do help people

Minpunten

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.
