Pros

Some nice people, feeling of international importance, but that's probably simply down to the proximity of the UN. Great flashy but old-feeling offices, lovely interns. Does it look good on the CV? Not convinced. Nice sinecures to be had for those who want to get paid well for doing very little. Nice Parties, plenty of Ferro Rochers to be had.

Cons

3rd world operation. Lagging behind in management style and capability. Could do with some fresh blood at the top of the organisation. Not joined up at all and conduct behaviours last seen in the 70s. Lots of paper-based processes, rumours of senior management misbehaviour. Some bullying seen to be taking place. The whole operation feels old and in need of a colossal shake up.

Pros

This position is flexible as it allows you to work on your own schedule at your own pace. You just need to return projects by the deadline; you are given ample time to do so. You receive exposure to a wide range of technical fields, develop your critical eye, learn how to quickly spot patterns, and refine your understanding of linguistic nuance. My colleagues are highly respectful and professional. It is a pleasure to work with them. You are paid by your volume output, not by your time, so it is motivating to work efficiently. You are given feedback on a monthly basis with a percentage of overall quality.

Cons

This position may be difficult for those who struggle with time management, but it is also a great opportunity to develop this skill. It is not clear how the feedback quality percentage is calculated.
