Pros

Really nothing. It is good for people over 55 or 60 and it is not a place that motivates you at all.

Cons

This wesbites asked me to write minimum 5 words as cons but I can easily write 5 pages in here! - Extremely bureaucratic - Very unskilled colleagues (the last developer that they hired didn't know even how to login into the operation system at all!!!) - No management at all and there is no control over what developers do. So you can simply spend whole your day watching YouTube and there will be no difference between you and the other one who works at all at the end of the day!!! - Managers are all busy with their own projects in the working hours - There is no commitment and professional ethics - You don't have any opportunity to grow in their system - Extremely dirty code and it is very difficult to maintain

Pros

There are many interesting topics which are under scrutiny at the European Commission. The job can be quite challenging which is motivating. However there are very few opportunities to get a permanent position.

Cons

bureaucratic lack of involvement sharp segregation among units
