Frustrating - Anonymous employee CGIAR Employee Review

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.

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.

Collaborative, team work, research oriented, problem-solving environment, and engaging.

Travels, funding, project fully cost staff, multi-tasking, and geographic coverage.
