It promotes technical and investment cooperation among nations.
good
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.
Highly recommended
I worked with UNDP India for 2 years as an IT specialist and find the true ample professionalism in the Organization. All employees are highly qualified and skilled.
Immersive Experience; It's what you make of it
Keep in mind that you need to make yourself useful here, and doing that is entirely up to you. I was able to work on a very interesting project by reaching out and being proactive.
Decently good work environment
Good opportunity to learn project management skills and interact with diverse stakeholders. The work culture is relaxed and you get a lot of opportunities to travel and meet other project staff.
Good place to work
Livelihood Associate (Former Employee) – Jharkhand – June 21, 2019
Good work life balance . Quality is imbibed in work culture here. Management takes good care of its employees.I had made some very good friends here with whom I am still in contact even after leaving two years of job here.
Great exposure to international negotiations and policy research
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.
Insightful and Encouraging
It was a great experience at United Nations. The exposure is altogether different from any private workplace and you get to know so much about working in the inner circles.
productive, great learning experience
My internship with UNDP was a great learning experience as it opened the gateway of my interests in the development sector.
The work-life balance and job culture was amazing and my regional head was always a supportive and guiding figure.

Working for UNDP program at Railways and coordinating with various stakeholders is a great experience
Working for UNDP program at Indian Railways and coordinating with various stakeholders is a great experience. Interacting with top executives of various industry and help railways understand industry needs is always a big challenge.
Biodiversity informative
Got to learn about various biodiversity related issue which are very important for the saftey of the earth. Visits to small villages of balaghat, hoshangabad and rewa districts were very informative.
International Intern
Great opportunity of exposure and learning in the sustainable development and CSR sector
Good place to embellish your CV and get well paid
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.

Good to work under UNDP
Its a great experience to work under UNDP with such a wonderful team.Learned how to organise an event, finalize venue keeping in mind the company norms. I can take the responsibility of all the administrative works and accomplish them within the time frame given.I have to travel various places of Assam very frequently which is the hardest part of the job. But it is also quite enjoyable as I can see new places and meet new people.
Good place to learn and grow.
Working with an internationally recognized work organisation gives you the much needed edge over the others. Working in close coordination on field lets you apply the project principles on ground.
