Excellent learning curve, work-life balance
CSIR is the in business of selling time. Thus the type of people I service are knowledge worker who are focussed on Intellectual Property. The environment is characterised with bright minds who are in Science, Engineering and Technology. I am challenged to be a critical thinker. They are very demanding as they can read and interpret policies themselves, I am challenged to always be a step ahead of the employee workforce by reading and affiliating to relevant structures.
Pros: Autonomy
Cons: Growth and Development
