very good place

Pros

Very good place, human and respectful environment

Cons

promotion system very slow, not always meritocratic. It is advisable to be in charge of a file which is politically visible. All promoted employees have merits, not all unpromoted colleagues have done a bad job. Sometimes they were just doing jobs that were not so much visible from a political point of view, although still necessary to the well functioning of the institution

Pros

Great Salary and working conditions. Possibility to perform teleworking

Cons

Productivity is low, mostly due to a gap in motivation between employees with permanent contracts and employees with very short-term working contracts. Low input and lack of feedback from bosses
