Excellent learning curve

As a data scientist, my job was to analyze data given and provide real-life solutions for our potential clients. We worked as a group to tackle the problems at hand. We used machine learning and python programming for modeling. I was taught machine learning, communications skills a.nd python programming to make our job easier. Meeting people from different companies was something I enjoyed the most since networking is very important these days. Working with lazy people was challengings. Data: sometimes the data we used is huge, thus making it difficult to analyze and find solutions. In general, using data and analyzing data to solve real-world problems is my passion. I had a chance to study physics, astrophysics, statistics, python and other programming languages for both M.Sc Mathematical Science and Astrophysics. I am happy and look forward to using the skills acquired at CSIR to solve real-world problems in any company.

Pros: Working with data
Cons: working with lazy co-workers

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

My first Job

A typical day at work would include communicating and following up with,processing invoices while checking for compliance, make supplier payments,complete journals whilst enjoying a cup of coffee. I work in a team of four, a very close knit team always stepping in, in instances of leave or crisis. I enjoy the ongoing supplier relationship, the most challenging aspect of the job would be month end because it can be very unpredictable for e.g.volumes of invoices but I always enjoy a challenge and all month ends can't be the same.

Pros: Very relaxed environmen, priortise staff
Cons: Little opportunity for growth

Good opportunities for studying further especially for researchers, organisational inertia

You're your own boss. not permanently office bound. Very close client interraction gives appreciation for what they do and enables generation of tailored solutions. Co-workers are easy going.. there is a lot of trust between the group. Best part is blowing things up Most challenging aspect is lack of mentorship

Pros: There is some freedom to explore personal interests and schedule is usually not too tight
Cons: Slow growth
