Pros

- international with interesting personnel diversity - recruiting and hiring process (in general, they hire personnel with good profile and skills)

Cons

- on the mid level, there is incompetence, managers follow micromanagement and despotic decisions (forced to cover their own back). This situation increases frustration levels and decreases creative thinking in lower level Employees or consultants with career expectations and that wish to develop/apply skills or perform well leaves sooner than later the organization, or stay frustrated and decide to make a compromise.

Pros

- good salary wrt the rest of germany/europe for both staff and contractors - International environment - good work/life balance - good place to start your career, very organized

Cons

If you're an engineer with ambitions this is the worst place to be. 70% of the employees does the bare minimum, 20% manage to do negative work by pretending to work and end up producing rubbish that needs to be fixed by the last 10%, those few individuals that end up working for 3. Everyone knows who that 20% is, they dont even try to hide anymore. They are protected by the system and the #1 objective of contractors is to cover for them. When openly proven with actual data and evidence, people are gaslighted and mansplained. This is not a single event, happens in every team. Good workers end up bouncing back and forth between esoc and eumetsat to avoid the same toxic dynamics, without success. The list of cons is long, but this is the worst aspect.
