Pros

Excellent people - smart and diverse research talent pulled from academia, industry and govt. Great opportunities for impactful research in D&NS, working closely with govt. partners. Great location and offices. Very good values, work/life balance

Cons

Relatively small organisation and broad remit due to interface between academia and government/industry means that some support processes are not as efficient as at larger more traditional orgs.

Pros

- Good place to do high quality research - You can apply for your own grants from external sources.

Cons

Not a real con, but yes if you want a team, you will have to find the money yourself. Same as every uni.

Pros

Great people - most people are friendly and warm around you. It’s a flat structure and most seniors are very approachable. The research is quite exciting when you think of the possibilities for impact and the institute has close relations with the government being a national institute. Maximum work/life balance; one of the best you may find around. The salary is above standards for the 3rd sector - the pay is very good. Lots of learning if you’re not phased by change. There’s also the freedom to design your work however you like as long as you deliver - no one is breathing down your neck. Being an ethnic minority I’d say I am very comfortable here and feel respected for the value I bring.

Cons

Ongoing restructuring which is unsettling for many. The vision is quite blurry and there’s no crystal clear direction. Processes are a mess to be honest, but not to be unexpected for an organization that’s been only there for 10 years. Growth opportunities are very limited.
