Pros

Good salary and benefits Vienna is a nice place to live

Cons

HR is the biggest problem there. They do nothing to protect the staff from problem employees - the psychopaths, narcissists, and sexual harassers. The most that will happen is that a problem employee will be shifted from department to department, leaving a trail of wreckage behind them. Problem employees are sometimes even favored, as HR is afraid of them. The hiring process can take a year or more, and by then the best applicants have moved on, leaving the rest. The ERP implementation was, and continues to be, a disaster causing staff burnout and worse. There is no staff development, and a caste system between grades that keeps high performers in low positions and low performers in high positions Staff is blamed for systemic problems - "the ladder"

Pros

Vienna is a very nice city if you speak good German. Good canteen.

Cons

Very low effort / low engagement staff. Lazy atmosphere. Arrogant. Incompetent. If you are a professional with a work ethic you will be quickly be demoralised. I had to leave as I felt shame taking money from the taxpayers of poor countries and giving nothing back. Most people don't give a damn. Me, Me, Me. Nobody will care if you have an idea to improve the place. So many amateurs but the drunken monkeys of HR would have to be the worse. Basic decisions and processes that take hours or days in commercial enterprises take 6 months, 12 months, or are kicked down the road indefinitely. Always, always blame someone else. Never stand up and be accountable. The entire organisation needs a cultural re-think. Hire high level performers from commercial entities where there is a performance-culture.

Pros

nice office, satisfying work & lots of it, nice colleagues, tasty variety of international food in the cafeteria & restaurant, fast computers, printers & photocopiers, spontaneous office parties, fantastic public transportation and facilities, lots of clubs to join.

Cons

marginalisation of women and also bullying. Abysmal career prospects; the Agency typically recruits outsiders, so longer-serving staff may only rarely avail themselves of opportuities for promotion. Problematic managers receive protection and are retained/promoted. HR lacks empathy.
