    What’s it like working at Center For International Forestry Research?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at the Center For International Forestry Research (CIFOR) enjoy the scenic and peaceful work environment, complete with facilities for sports and recreation. They appreciate the professionalism and friendliness of their colleagues, even towards new employees, as well as the high level of security that allows them to leave belongings unattended. CIFOR provides opportunities to work on up-to-date research issues and collaborate with other institutes, and employees value the supportive supervisors and colleagues.

    However, some potential challenges include the language barrier posed by different English accents, relatively high cafeteria prices, and the occasional encounter with wildlife in the forested surroundings. Certain research projects may have specific respondent requirements, which could be limiting. Additionally, employees need to be prepared for demanding workloads, deadlines, and analytical thinking in a multi-disciplinary team environment.

    Culture and environment in CIFOR
    The good thingsPekerjaan di sini dijalani dengan sangat enjoy. Kondisi lingkungan yang asri dan jauh dari keramaian membuat setiap tempat dapat dijadikan ruang bekerja. CIFOR memiliki sarana dan prasarana lengkap, khususnya untuk berolahraga, seperti Gym, lapangan indoor futsal, bulutangkis, basket, kolam renang, hingga lapangan sepakbola. Setiap pekerja di sana memiliki tingkat profesionalisme tinggi dan ramah, sekalipun terhadap orang baru. Tingkat keamanan sangat tinggi, meninggalkan handphone atau laptop di meja tidak perlu kuatir hilang (tetapi tidak disarankan untuk membudayakan hal ini).
    The challengesBahasa Inggris menjadi suatu kesulitan apabila anda belum terbiasa, misalnya aksen English versi orang India, dsb. Cafeteria di sana tergolong mahal, karena memiliki harga untuk taraf bule (maklum banyak bule hehe). Untuk anak-anak muda, perlu ke luar kantor untuk makan siang dengan harga terjangkau. Lingkungan CIFOR terdiri atas hutan-hutan sehingga akan sering menemukan binatang seperti kadal, bahkan ular bergelantungan atau berjalan di jalur anda lalu lalang.
