Pros

Honor to serve for the people of Europe. International environment. Exposition to different technologies and looking always for quality

Cons

Not really many. Maybe limitation to the European ambit, unless working for external missions. Or administrative stuff, but which helps the process going on

Pros

Excellent salary, nice setting, prestige, easy going collegues and easy job with little challange and no responsibility. Perfect place if you are a young parent or can afford to take a break from a tough and stressfull job. You will meet interesting people, live in a beautiful environment and enjoy the many social opportunities that JRC community has to offer.

Cons

A bubble. If you value your careere, intelectual challange or you own sanity - stay away from this place. If you come in as contractual agent- you will be expendable. Your job will be to do all the work for the officials above you, who have little interest in the research that happens in the real world.
