Pros

Multicultural environment, good opportunities to change subject, in some places quite open and flexible environment, technical possibilities exist to work from home or phone, teleworking possibility, fit@work initiatives, salary in general higher than in Belgian companies

Cons

Very rigid hierarchical structure, many procedures and processes in place, micromanagement by many managers, often you do what is required and not what you sense right, you are forced to work from 9-17

Pros

International and multicultural organisation with plenty of professional development opportunities.

Cons

Most DGs and agencies are based in Brussels, which is not a very large city. Sometimes you could miss some amenities from large cities.
