okay

Working with students is my favourite part of it. However things are sometimes based on favouritism. I do wish that everyone was treated fairly and were given an opportunity to use the skills and quality that they had.

A generally good place to work

Teaching is high quality, but staff are overworked. Not much work/life balance is expected. Some great pockets of valuable research and researchers. Generally, a good place to work.

Good place to work

It's a good place to work with a good life/work balance. Got opportunities for professional development. But not fairly recognizing the efforts of contract staff. Govt. rules say that if you have been working on a contract basis for two years you should be offered a permanent position. But usually, managers play all the games by moving you in and out from a fixed-term to causal basis and no one is looking over this. This caused a lot of frustration and feeling of insecurity to the contract employees

Relaxed culture. Being a University adminstrative affairs tend to be very slow.

I found this to be a collaborative, supportive, and relaxed environment to work in. I was surrounded by smart capable people which I found stimulating. The largest downside was administrative overheads that come with being a large university.

Focused but fun work place

Extremely busy and work focused staff members. However, everyone is always open for a moment to share a joke and collaborate ideas. Respectful environment with diversity.

Many thanks for the positive feedback - and fantastic to hear you embraced the flexibility available to create and come up with new ideas for student engagement.

Very productive and academic environment

A typical day is when I deal with less English speaking person with an angry attitude, I need a lot of patience and communication according to the client like writing down needs instead of talking. The workplace has a flexible management in further helping to search for a language connect person who speaks the same language. It helps lessen the time and serve the client within the time frame. The enjoyable time at work is that I can interact often with a range of diverse people and learn about different cultures and different language every day

Pros

Free coffee and tea and socialize environment or getting to know who you work with

Cons

None

Really fun and productive work environment

It was a great experience working there. The best part about working there was the fact that i got to meet with students and other departments, helping me realize that the work i did was actually meaningful as i got the feedback from the end users.
