Business outlook
Pros
Working for the EU commission is an inspiring process that involves continuous learning, skill building and much experience. The working environment is multi-cultural and public, political and scientific standpoints are confronted on a daily basis.
Cons
Procurements are time-exhausitng, so working with externals may require some tedious negotiations and reporting. Extensive reports are also boring. Finally, the research centres are often located in unattractive regions, so you gotta drive everywhere to get anything.
