DSO National Laboratories Employee Reviews

On the ground colleagues are helpful and collaborative. A lot of space to learn new techniques and skills. Management could do better to identify with the difficulties on the ground as well as not practise favouritism.

Was in intern

Good work-life balances

EXECUTIVE (Former Employee) - 20 Science Park Drive - October 23, 2019

After working more than 10 years in DSO, got bored with the kind of routine work, so need to venture out to learn even more things. I must comprehend DSO's welfare is very beneficial for all employees especially work-life balances and other type of benefits like annual leave and incentives.

Great alternative for tertiary institutions

HR (Former Employee) - Singapore - May 18, 2017

DSO is a good choice if you are looking for an alternative to tertiary institutions, but you must be prepared to work in an environment where information is classified.

Tough but fun workplace

Member of Technical Staff (Current Employee) - Science Park Drive 1 - July 11, 2016

Hardest part of the job is to work under the sun rocking on the sea doing experiment. Most enjoyable part of the job is to see your product in action successfully.

Pros

Freedom to explore & experiment new concept

Cons

Slow career progression

Pro-family staff welfare

Executive (Former Employee) - Choa Chu Kang - June 28, 2016

Rather routine and boring because colleagues are trying to escape from their work station to avoid given disruptive jobs. I learned to not try to be too outstanding because the whole team of 5 will be 'sabotaged'. Its best to play on the safe side.
