      very good place

      Policy officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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
