Research Officer 2 - Anonymous employee ODI Employee Review

Profesional operation, straight forward no games.

Work assignments are contingent on Situations with contracts & other agencies that make work schedules more fluid.

- Incredibly involving and involved first job as a development economist. - Opportunity to gain a broad perspective on the development industry from the perspective of a developing country Government. - Highly regarded programme, especially in the UK. Opens a lot of doors and most fellow fellows have gone on to do very intersting work. - Nice network of fellows, that will last for a while. - A lot of opportinity to grow professionally with a combination of independent reading and the endless opportunites of application in the post.

- The post and topics in the post may not be what your University background are. - Not a lot of rigorous econmics, so not a great preparation for a PhD in economics. - Not much formal training.
