Good way to get your foot in the door at the EU - Assistant (Tempoarary Contract) European Commission Employee Review

Don't expect to be involved in much substantive work from the get-go. Often boring with a lack of work, which sometimes felt like being a trainee again. Commission procedures are opaque and inefficient, and communication is often confusing. The temp agency used by the Commission is truly awful and unhelpful, at times even seemed totally sketchy.
