Great opportunity to work in a broad international network with smart people. Varied projects and chance to work with a wide spectrum of companies/industries. Ability to travel and explore diverse cultures

Safe, easy, risk-adverse, government job

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a friendly, non-competitive, non-stressful work environment with good benefits and fairly good salary. Not cut-throat and generally people are there to help you succeed.

Cons

It's a very risk-adverse government agency, meaning the mission is often stale, the outcomes rather meaningless, and they value ticking arbitrary boxes that their superiors have set out for them over doing really meaningful work. Lack of growth opportunities if not an Australian citizen. Organization became increasingly bogged down with compliance and policy issues as the years went on.
