Stressful place to work - Document Controller bei ESTEC: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Relative good balance between work and life as hours as concerned

No career growing opportunities for contractors that are being paid the half as staff and are second class employees. Highy corrutive driven politics, collection of castles and very filthy environment with permanent people living in bubbles/glasses. There is no hesitation for mobbing, even if that is intiated by personal or imaginery incentives and that has driven lot of people to quit, societal issues and family problems, health problems and on suicide in the past. Only for young and new people in the business to acquire experiences and for some professionals for better income from the private sector during some career stages.

Very supportive working environment and highly interdisciplinary working groups. The conditions are very good and I do not think such good conditions can be found somewhere else. Also trainees are allowed to join coursed and the best is, it is free for the trainees. Sometime it is possible to join external conferences and meetings (strongly depending on the group/ department)

Graduate trainees (even when they have already a PhD. or work experience in industry) are not considered as employee and therefore are not allowed to do any work which comes with a certain responsibility. So the work themselves can be often very low challenging.
