Insightful and Encouraging
Summer Intern (Former Employee) – New Delhi, Delhi – September 11, 2018
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.
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.
productive, great learning experience

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.
