Read this review and reconsider - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso ECDC

I found out only months after joining ECDC, that the organisation is the laughing stock of EU agencies. Member States, COM, and DG Santé are generally not so impressed with anything coming out of Stockholm. Therefor do not expect that having ECDC on your resume contributes to your professional reputation in any positive way or form, regardless of your role or contributions. And yes, there are the 7-month winters with 6 hrs of bleek daylight and the arms-length Swedish social life. Upper echelons of management are largely technical specialists with absolutely no clue of running a modern public organisation, lead and inspire staff, provide guidance and direction, promote and advance positive behaviour and put an end to negative and inefficient behaviour on the work floor. Staff generally feel unsafe, unmotivated and disoriented but stay because of the (ridiculous) benefits and ample opportunities to work routinely and little (or: 'flexible'). Core hours between 10 am and 3 pm leave the office near empty after 3.
