Pros and cons of working at ANSTO
Pros
A lot of training opportunities and good pay for a graduate position. Great support and team culture. I have had good opportunities to get involved with events and projects.
Flexibility, technological and research infrastructure, high level of responsibility
Great research facilities, good work-life balance and flexibility, good amount of responsibility
The unique science and engineering challenges. it is a really great place to learn about a whole load of different industries and really expand your skills.
Diverse company with many different opportunities
Cons
Being government the work pace can be a bit slow at times.
The location is far away from almost everything, commute to work is tedious.
Being home to a nuclear reactor, the location of ANSTO is quite far away from the centre of Sydney and there are limited options for getting to work through public transport.
As with any big organisation, there are some bureaucratic-type challenges, but these are constantly improving.
Some days are very paperwork/documentation-based. few ongoing roles for scientific staff. higher-level management appears to be gutting the research out of the organisation.
