Pros

Good work environment, diverse international colleagues, good reputation amongst stakeholders, great for building connection and network.

Cons

Difficult to move up ladder - they appreciate external talent more than internal ones. It seems also impossible for locals to be in Director's level. Inflexible project designs - project designs mostly top-down approach. Narrow room for creativity. Low salary - The salary range is at the low scale compared to other international organizations. Also, no opportunity to good salary increases even if an employee performs highly.
