What’s it like working at Agency for Science, Technology and Research?
AI summary of recent reviews
The Agency for Science, Technology and Research stands out for its excellent work-life balance and comprehensive benefits package. Employees value the strong learning environment, particularly the opportunity to work alongside PhD holders and access sophisticated research infrastructure. The organisation is also noted for its supportive workplace culture and positive team atmosphere, providing a comfortable environment for professional development.
However, employees have noted areas for improvement, including limited career advancement opportunities and funding-dependent job security, particularly in research roles. Some employees indicate that management practices could be enhanced, especially in terms of technical knowledge and team support. The organisation's hierarchical structure can result in complex approval processes and predominantly top-down communication patterns.

Staying for work-life balance
The good thingsGood work-life balance for me in SICS/IHDP. Supportive peers and ROs.
The challengesSometimes hire big dreams low output people. Sometimes hire in positions that do not require manpower while others are lacking. Often retains and quickly promotes poor performance managers that look that they do a lot of work. Some managers lack technical knowledge and EQ.

Head
Mar 2023One of the worst places I worked in
The good thingsI guess they will pay your salary, although the bonus is very low.
The challengesThe managers do things for their own personal benefit of improving their name. Just a lot of talk, claiming credit, but they don't do anything to help their team. Also, don't expect to get promoted, they mostly hire new people to fill the open positions.
