    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at the Data Storage Institute value the opportunities to learn through interesting R&D projects, often done collaboratively with private sector partners. They also appreciate having good colleagues and the availability of scholarships for further education. However, some potential areas for improvement include increasing salaries to be more competitive with the private sector, addressing workload imbalances with ad hoc tasks, and providing more support for entrepreneurial endeavours among the research staff.

    Good place to work for R&D
    The good thingsInteresting R&D projects, especially the ones done in collaboration with the private sector. Lot of opportunities to learn new and emerging technologies. Scholarships for further studies are available too. All in all, if you are tech driven with a keen interest in Research/Technology, this is a good place to work. However, as always, this depends on the specific research institute, department, manager, project leaders that you may work under.
    The challengesSalary needs to be bumped up to match private sector or at-least brought close to it. More collaborative projects with private sector would do good. For an R&D firm, the entrepreneurial output and support is lacking. Top management needs to do more to support those researchers who may have entrepreneurial ambitions. It also needs to inculcate an entrepreneurial spirit in R&D staff in general.
