Pros

The only benefit is the salary.

Cons

The current management practices are causing some concern among the employees. The new contracts have a five-year fixed term with no career perspectives. They see people as disposable things. There are also reports of 24-hour work expectations, which may require some attention. Some very high level managers lack experience. The incentive program appears to be focused on reducing staff and using consultants, which may put undue pressure on those who remain. It's important to ensure that the organization's values align with the UN mission and are not merely being used for promotional purposes, which is the case of WIPO.

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.
