Fun Workplace with Helpful Workmates
Admission Office Summer Assistant (Former Employee) – Pok Fu Lam, Hong Kong Island – November 12, 2018
It was a relatively harmonic workplace, with good amount of learning opportunities.
Hardest part of the job was when there are too many colleagues sometimes it's hard to come to a mutual agreement.

Good Working environment
5 days work, close relationship in team,many chances are given to you as you can handle a lot of big-scale project on VR developement with varies of company and organization.
The hardest part of the job is lack of human resource and specialists, so you will have to handle many projects at the same time with a very tight schedule.
As the team is small, everyone is busy, you probably cannot find a mentor or getting advice immediately, but it is good for your self-learning process.

Depends a lot on your boss
Whether or not it is a good working experience, it depends mostly on the hiring person. In general, I was lucky and my boss is reasonable, and working hour is flexible. However, admin and HR can be rather inefficient, especially when it comes to paperwork and claimant.
Education Sector
Major focus on training and research activities so as to enhance the public awareness of the importance of public health. Professional and Educational Environment.
Reflexible position
Working as a part-time research assistant involves taking up different tasks on a free-lance basis - flexible work schedule, but work may be tedious, depending on what project you're working for.
Productive Place
Adequate support is given here and the work culture is fine. A lot of chance to learn and connect with people from different fields. Enough facilities and supplies for research works.
Pros
Flexible work time

Heavy workload and no job advancement
All colleagues overworked seriously but the management level could not bother to improve the working environment. Extremely high turnover rate because no one can stand such heavy workload.

Bureaucratic, but Great People & Location
HKU is a top class university in terms of location and it is able to attract many excellent students and faculty. The culture of the university is lively, but the bureaucratic processes could be reduced to make working processes more efficient and adaptive.
Team Skills
As a research assistant at HKU i had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people and learned how to meet daily deadlines while coordinating with colleagues.
Pros
Flexible
poor career path
There are poor career path, no work life balance at all, unbelievably low salary, incompetent supervisors communicating by yelling and humiliating people.
