Interesting experience - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij European Commission

Lots of bureaucracy. Incompetent managers, some of them doing nothing and waiting for their retirement. Trying to initiate collaborations with other JRC departments/projects almost impossible because managers do not want to share success. Result: working on islands, inventing the same wheel in different places ..... Being part of the temporal staff sometimes felt like being a marionet of the hierarchy. People at the lower levels sometimes don't dare to speak because they have a different opinion than their department head or project leader.
