Pros
The opportunity to publish in Journals. Opportunity to work and live in New Delhi, India The chance to gain research experience (albeit with little guidance) Gaining great contacts in the world of AMR research. Meeting wonderful staff - making great friends.
Cons
There is a serious lack of communication between the Delhi and DC offices, which can be very demotivating. There is very little support or advice offered for RAs, making for a very inefficient and frustrating working environment. There is no opportunity for growth within the organization. RAs are seen as dispensable by the organization and tend to stay no longer than one year. Witnessing the treatment of staff by senior management was disturbing. Consistent management absence from staff meetings and calls arranged by management is a classic example of the ongoing behaviour that is deemed as acceptable by CDDEP.
