Business outlook
Pros
I enjoy the European perspective on all issues, the fact of working every day for the European project, the extremely professional colleagues and the possibility to change area of policy very easily. Career not exclusively dictated by recommendations like in my home country Italy. Great salary and benefits.
Cons
Brussels can be depressing and difficult to live in, however real estate is cheap. The career opportunities are limited as in all big public administrations. Some managers are not good "people's" managers, though they are good on substance. More should be done to increase personnel motivation through manager training.
