    What’s it like working at ASIC?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees appreciate the friendly and supportive colleagues at ASIC, particularly at the operational level, along with excellent work/life balance and flexible working arrangements. The benefits are strong, including 15.4% superannuation and salary packaging options, and staff value the opportunities for learning and development as well as the meaningful work contributing to Australia's financial system.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including issues with management at senior levels, with some employees noting inexperienced leadership and questionable decision-making. Some teams experience a political environment with micromanagement, and systems and processes can be inefficient due to outdated technology. Career progression may be slow in certain areas, and salaries may not match private sector rates due to Enterprise Agreement constraints.

    The good thingsWFH, pay and conditions
    The challengesAn insanely political and backstabbing culture, accompanied by an incompetent management team. The worst of Government and private sector - if you're thinking of applying, please reconsider.

    Challenging experience: KPI pressure causes stress, and lunchroom is crowded and often unclean.
    The good thingsNothing else, just confirming that I get paid on Tuesday.
    The challenges I feel a great deal of stress and even emotional strain while trying to achieve my KPIs. I genuinely care about my work and the results, and sometimes it feels like my heart is deeply attached to meeting those goals. While this shows my dedication, it can also become overwhelming when I don’t find the right balance between effort and peace of mind. I would also like to mention a small concern about the lunchroom facilities. While the office space is large and comfortable, the lunchroom area feels quite congested and is often not as clean as it should be. Improving that space would make a big difference for staff comfort and overall morale. I believe that with a few small improvements and continued support, we can make the workplace even better for everyone. I truly value the culture of teamwork and accountability here, and I remain committed to giving my best in every task I do.
