Great people but shaky work environment

Business outlook

Pros

By working at EURACTIV you get in touch with virtually all EU stakeholders in Brussels, and get the chance to see from the inside how a buzzing newsroom works.

Cons

Big gap between senior management (overpaid senior white men spending their days in pointless internal meetings) and junior staff (underpaid young talents that actually get the work done).
