Depends on lab group
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedExperience will vary widely depending on lab group and PI. I enjoyed the independence from my current lab group, available facilities and PI whom I could get along with.

OK overall
Decent coworkers, but work is very dependent on your supervisor/mentor. Lots of scrambling for papers and authorship which leads to a lot of suboptimal research teams and papers

RA (Current Employee) - Kent Ridge - October 9, 2023
Overall exp highly dependent on your PI & his or her direction for the lab. Likewise for colleagues, most are nice and helpful. PhD students (ie doing part time PhD and part time RA) can seen as cocky and need people to do experiments for them despite it being their own things

advanced stimulating environment
Research Fellow (Current Employee) - Kent Ridge - September 27, 2023
The National University of Singapore stands as the epitome of advanced learning, offering a rich and stimulating environment for a comprehensive educational experience. Its academic facilities and resources are state-of-the-art, enabling students to delve into a vast array of subjects and disciplines.Despite the fact that salaries might not rival those found in the industrial sector, the university compensates with a culture of flexibility in work arrangements. This flexibility allows individuals to strike a balance between their professional commitments and personal endeavors. It fosters a conducive atmosphere for research, creativity, and personal growth, making it an enticing place for both students and educators.

good place for research
Postdoctoral Fellow (Former Employee) - Singapore - September 26, 2023
good work life balance (also depends on PI); salary is relatively low; job security is high if your performance is very good (also depends on PI's funding situation)

Work is interesting as my job involves on-boarding suppliers to the new SAP-Ariba e-Procurement platform
Customer Service Associate (Current Employee) - Singapore - August 27, 2023
With specific KPI's to achieve, I get straight down to work and it's fun working with colleagues and external suppliers, via phone or zoom calls. The experience has taught me useful lessons on handling customers, telephone mannerisms and email etiquette. The management is supportive and provide all tools to be successful in the job.The biggest challenge is self education on system requirements. We overcome this through collaborative exchange of ideas with colleagues in reading through software manuals and applying to the daily job.My biggest satisfaction is derived when we assist suppliers to be successfully registered in the system and receive call back thanking us.
Pros
Sample tasting of food by caterers prior to selection as a supplier
Cons
Unable to work from home

Good benefits, but not an agile place
Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Kent Ridge - August 22, 2023
Good benefits, generous AL, welfare, but not an agile or forward thinking place. Good for gaining experience for those looking to gain work experience, but not for staying too long.
