      Woefully disorganised - Consultant CGIAR Employee Review

      Pros

      Generous pay, although most new roles are consultantships so come with the caveat of very poor job security and no company benefits/ pension scheme / health insurance / annual leave etc

      Cons

      Organisation is in my experience woefully disorganised. Company culture on the whole is really not the friendliest and gets grating after a while. Managers appear to care very little about their staff or wellbeing, and this attitude seems baked into organisation policies, with very little support/training or company benefits offered.

      Pros

      Meaningful work with dedicated, intelligent colleagues. Nice balance between scholarly freedom and research for development. Research support systems are strong. Access to significant bilateral donor funding.

      Cons

      Fundraising is a necessity and sometimes feels like it takes more of your time than research. The organization is currently in transition and tends to undergo reforms every 5 years. National and international staff divisions can feel unjust.
