Pros

Lots of smart people and opportunities for growth depending on the unit/DG you are in.

Cons

Horrific, stifling bureaucracy. The worst management I have ever seen. If you have a good idea it will likely get stuck in layers of bureaucracy and eventually be killed. This is by far the most annoying thing about the place.

Pros

I loved the multicultural aspect as well as the large scale scope of the work done at the EC.

Cons

The organization is quite rigid and hierarchical. It took a lot to work my way out of the preset role I was put in.
