Salary at CSIRO

I have been very happy with pay at CSIRO!

I think it was a satisfactory salary when it was planned for but the last year of inflation and interest rate increases have meant the salary doesn't go as far. I'd prefer the cost of living decrease over pay rises because I work for the public so don't want to be a leech, but I have less control over the cost of living than I do my pay.

The pay is reasonable considering it is an internship and the amount of assistance you receive.

Its more about the experience as the vacation program only runs for 10 weeks.

N/A. Standard for an internship

I am very happy with the amount I am being paid.

They pay is slightly less than other companies' summer vacation programs. In general pay is worse in academia

this is the first student position I have actually been paid for so hey I'm happy

The pay at the internship level is extremely low in comparison to other companies.

I am very satisfied with my pay. It is very exciting to be paid as an intern as they often work for free

For an internship pay is fine, I wouldn't do this for pay alone can get better money elsewhere. Only 8-12 weeks

I am an intern so I am lucky to be being paid at all! Very happy to be paid.

The pay is quite generous and the superannuation is amazing

As I am doing an internship, I think the pay is very good especially considering that a lot of organisations do not pay interns

I think getting paid for student vacation ship is a big bonus

As a vacation student my pay is much lower than the rest of the employees, though much better than many other companies that do unpaid internships.

I believe that CSIRO is paying students too low. The hourly rate is similar to a retail work environment.

I am just a student so I don't get bonuses, but pay is fine, its around 150 a day so its pretty good for a vacation student I'm pretty sure.

As a student, usually you don't get paid at all by these companies but CSIRO pays all their student interns. It is Australian minimum wage however but with CSIRO having a great reputation it is great for a resume for a high paying job, or you can go on to work there for around 100k as an established employee after your degree.

I don't have any bonuses applicable to me. The pay is fortnightly which is a pain and weekly would be preferable to me.

Generous leave (including for graduate/PhD students).

Table tennis on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

We got rewarded for our efforts with systems testing with an industry partner. It was totally unexpected and we felt we were just doing what was required of us!

No unusual perks that I know of

Christmas party

There aren't many perks, they do pay for travelling to conferences

there is nothing that tangible, but I like telling people that I work for the CSIRO. that's a perk

No perks. Government Organisation.

I am an intern so I don't get any perks

Waterfront views whilst having some great free events (Christmas parties)

superannuation

Gym access (for small fee) Free on job training Table tennis and chess in canteen Childcare Mental health services (confidential) Company vehicles Good social club Free/cheap company meals/events

Free lunches every now and then.

maybe you can visit sites where a project is being installed, they can even be overseas!

free coffee/tea (pretty standard), government benefits, paid for a Christmas lunch

None that I am aware of.

We have fitness passport since we are a government institution, but as a summer student I cannot take advantage of that. We have a lodge on site where people can stay, but I am also not taking advantage of that.

In-house cafe?
