And you have to f**king tap your security card everywhere u go. KNNB!!!$%$#^$%
I doubt that there is any office politics (if you are a researcher or tech) cause all your work/papers will be interconnected and you need your co-workers input etc etc -
Will there be any company bus to fetch us to the company? Cause the company quite far from my house.Originally posted by kivine:Worked in A*STAR-ICES before, so I can roughly tell you how the work environment's like

Well that's A* for you...highly structured government environment....still can't compete with the real research institutes of Europe or North America...Originally posted by kivine:Worked in A*STAR-ICES before, so I can roughly tell you how the work environment's like

A* will only produce token breakthroughs and small little inventions every now and then...and that's abouts it....I'm sure there's still alot of red tape....so why bother....
If you want real cutting edge research where you really want to learn...try Europe....or the EU in general....ask yourself why the FTs researchers come to Sillypore....cause they are not as high calibre and are second rated....would the real talented researchers come here??? stop, period....reality check -

An idiot from A*Star registered at my football forum using his office pc and start posting lots and lots of rubbish. He then registered a new username and replied to his very own thread, making a fool out of himself. And all the while, using his office PC. That's how I managed to gather his IP Address and hostname from the admin panel.
