Distance from a big city, lot of manual work and sometimes is difficult to propose a new idea. Salary is not as competitive as could be.

Pros

Some projects are very well run and offer a good opportunity to do agricultural research-for-development work around the world.

Cons

CIMMYT overall is an extremely poorly run organization. It is very bureaucratic, and yet also lacks many of the basic systems needed to provide a supportive, efficient working environment. It's possible to have a relatively OK working experience here, depending on where you are posted and which project you work on, but you will inevitably be negatively affected by the dysfunction. At all costs, stay away from the CIMMYT India office as it is an extremely unhealthy workplace, managed ineffectively and deeply unprofessional.
