Good Intentions...Horrendous Bureaucracy

Pros

UNDP stands for great principles, has an impressive scope of work, and allows access to work with an array of well-funded projects.

Cons

Stifling bureaucracy, rampant inefficiency and wastage of resources, and filled with bloated senior staffers who are more interested in their own job perks and holiday schedule than the outcome of their work. Of course, there are many UNDP offices, in many countries, with many projects. Depending on your team, your project, and your boss, the experience can be great...or a living nightmare.
