Pros and cons of working at Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO)
Pros
I enjoy the people I work with, and the friends that I have made in the office. Moving across the country to work can be quite hard but it's definitely made easier by the people you work with.
Working on interesting and challenging technology problems with a real-world impact on protecting all Australians.
The people are fantastic. I've been super impressed with the quality of people here. Always very friendly and welcoming. The work though has been very fulfilling, especially when compared to private industry.
Being able to help contribute to the protection and security of the Australian people while being privy to exciting new technologies. The staff in our organisation are amazing people and are fantastic to work with.
The mission. Having the opportunity to come to work every day and use my skills and background to make a positive difference in Australia's national security is so rewarding and fulfilling.
Cons
Not being able to tell your friends and family about the intricacies of work is tough.
Not being able to discuss your work can be challenging at times but once you're used to it, it's fine.
Not being able to work from home. I do miss rolling out of bed and starting my day but I also understand, given the work we do.
Not being able to talk about all the interesting stuff you work on.
Limited work-from-home opportunities.
