Employees at the Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA) appreciate the exceptional environment created by their brilliant and wonderful colleagues, all working towards the common goal of saving sight. CERA offers flexibility in working arrangements and a strong focus on work/life balance, with the ability to work from home when necessary. There are also opportunities for career development, even in smaller teams, with support from immediate colleagues. Employees value the exciting new research lines and great national and international collaborations at CERA.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as CERA currently operating in an old building, though there are plans to move to a new facility. Additionally, some employees have concerns about management competency, with a perception that some managers lack skills and are disinterested in learning or implementing change. New employees may also find the environment complicated to get their head around initially, though colleagues are generally helpful.
