Pros
The organisation is very functional professional organisation, which is highly specialized. The arrangement of services goes by horizontal policies or by economy sectors or by nature of services provided. As the areas to be covered are extremely large, the positions and work profiles provide rich variety of different jobs. The possibility to be able to help to build the structure of the future EU for all its citizens gives the work a special character.
Cons
The organisation of services is done by divisions and units, and the functional organisation makes it rather difficult to rapidly reallocate resources for new needs. The optimistic approach and limited amount of quantitative metrics and tools to check and measure concerning capabilities and resources versus political commitments made makes the completion and implementation of functions and policies sometimes very challenging.
