Pros and cons of working at Analytics and Research in Government
Pros
Fantastic team and very meaningful work.
Data team with a tight relationship with policy teams gives me the best of both worlds - influencing public policy and making a difference while working with technologies that interest me. Freedom to do what you want, control your workload, high levels of trust. Good work life balance, work rarely follows me during home time.
A lot of very interesting data (and a lot of it!) which can be used in ways to help ACC clients / other people, relatively sophisticated IT infrastructure and a really good place to learn about enterprise infrastructure in the context of analytics.
Learning about public sector, getting help from people around me
Very supportive manager and ARG rep.
Cons
Laptops are kinda slow at MBIE, as is the onboarding process and dealing with ICT and Datacom. I was given a giant gamer laptop all the bells and whistles - one year into the job and it still somehow grinds to a halt! Outlook, Teams and/or our record management system is almost certain to give me grief on any given day.
Duration of time for getting access.
Drink too much coffee?
Few other interns
The work that I was doing at times got quite repetitive.
