An easy transition out of academia - Examiner of Patents IP Australia Employee Review

Easy work. Low stress. Flexible.

Lack of career opportunities. Overly woke culture. Some areas are dominated by southasians and there have been several promotion decisions where raceorgender seems to have been prioritised over merit.

flexible working arrangement; flexible working hours; good work/life balance; great inclusive and empowering organisational culture; accessing to new technologies for conducting patents searching and participating in corporate projects by using team collaboration technologies

limited career progression opportunities; highly competitive in winning line manager role; recently quite frequent organisational restructure; sometimes unclear which aspect of operations should be prioritised for improving customer satisfaction level; some business groups are losing money (expenditure on employee salary is higher than income generated from application & renewal fees)
