Pros
UNFPA does amazing work for women and girls - a lighthouse of gender equality. The people here are passionate about it. It is a little removed from the rest of the UN agencies - this is good because it's less structured and leaves room for innovation.
Cons
The lack of structure can also breed chaos. Your experience can vary widely from team to team. Lots of competition and infighting. Consultants are not treated as well as staff, which breeds a toxic unfair environment. Lack of career progression and lots of "stuck" people. That's common to the UN, i'm told.
