Reviews
My role is in business development providing the business side of support so that scientists and their research can have impact. Day to day responsibilities vary as a graduate where I am gathering a blend of formal training and on the job learning. I am experiencing three different rotations, each lasting 6 months. I am also involved in various projects at the same time so I split my time between those projects which vary in difficulty, length and nature e.g. desktop research task
As a research technician, my responsibility is to help with whatever project I am assigned too. Due to the newness of my role, this is almost always supervised.
My work is primarily remote; my team live on the other side of the country. Thus it can get quite isolating and lonely, as well as anxiety inducing due to losing the human touch of working in a team. But this was part of the role I agreed to and so I have learned to find strategies to deal with it such as making special efforts to socialise and engage with the local staff.

Pros and cons of working at CSIRO
Pros
CSIRO has really flexible working arrangements... no pressure to work from the office.
The culture is one of inclusivity creativity and a deep commitment to improvement.
Great professional development opportunities.
I like the work-life balance that CSIRO provides—I'm able to complete my work and have time for other commitments.
Working for an organisation that is on the cutting edge of science and innovation.
Cons
Not knowing if I have a job after my contract ends.
Multiple processes and steps that could be simplified.
It can feel isolating at times as the office is always really quiet, and most of your day-to-day interaction is online.
Promotion opportunities have not been clearly explained.
The structure and bureaucracy make things get done at a slower pace.
