Pros

A great opportunity to provide scientific support to European policy making and mix with other European colleagues. Good salary with benefits. Ispra site is set in a lovely environment near the Lake Maggiore.

Cons

As with any big organisation it is bureaucratic and slow. Unless you hold a permanent position (increasingly difficult to secure) long-term employment is not an an option for contractual agent positions have a maximum of 6 years. So can be a career cul-de-sac. There are external positions but these have less benefits.
