Sometimes too late

Centre Manager (Former Employee) - Dehra Dun, Uttarakhand - December 28, 2021

It has been a wonderful journey for the last 1 year I have been working as a Centre Manager for District Rural Development Authority Government of Uttarakhand and United Nation Development Program Joint Project “Yojana Saarthi”. I had immense learnings and exposure in this period working with UNDP. This has been one of the most enriching work experiences I ever had, and I would love to work with UNDP in the future. I am very grateful to UNDP for giving me this wonderful opportunity to work at the panchayat level in such a vast spectrum of work areas.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development network. It advocates for change and connects countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life for themselves. It provides expert advice, training and grants support to developing countries, with increasing emphasis on assistance to the least developed countries.

good

Internship (Former Employee) - New Delhi, Delhi - November 4, 2019

Great people and company values are good. Salary and bonuses are ok once you move into leadership positions. Corporate organizational model is very different than more traditional models and hard to navigate. Takes a long time to get to understand how the business works.

Great exposure to international negotiations and policy research

Programme Executive (Former Employee) - New Delhi, India - October 12, 2018

Since my duty station was Ministry of Finance and not UNDP per se,my review pertains to the experience at the Ministry. We were hired by the UNDP as consultants to assist the Government of India in developing India's position on various G20 issues. The work culture was that of government ministry and not UNDP. I gained a lot of experience of dealing with various national and international organizations and engaging in issues for international negotiations. Though, UNDP's involvement in our professional experience at the behest of senior government officers would have been appreciated.

Good place to embellish your CV and get well paid

Technical Expert (Former Employee) - Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh - May 1, 2017

It pays really well across levels.You also get to do some meaningful work in global development. However, there is no job security. They usually hire professionals for a specific project and a project has a certain life, beyond which staff is not required. However, if you are in Delhi, you may be absorbed in some other project but that's not certain. And in case you are in some other city and there is no live project, you have no option but to pack bags after project closure. But as they pay well, it doesn't hurt much.

Pros

Great Salary, Experience

Cons

No job stability
