Vantaggi

this is a interesting question

Svantaggi

Failed management from top to bottom. job security just as private company. laid off ~4% last year. It cultivates a culture that encourages people not to work. some people don't have much work or they pretend to be very busy. managers take advantages of people who honors their work. So, some people have always work on priorities. No time to learn and develop themselves. Tasks are assigned based on capacity instead of pay grade. Promotion is about 5 years if you are lucky. It's getting harder to ask people to work as management delayed merit increase for 3 months already this year. Over the last 5 years after tax salary is about 10% behind inflation. Great waste of money on many aspects. Yet, Hard to find a section of road in good condition. A lot of people are close to retirement. the mid 30's people are the most unhappy group.

Vantaggi

It is a place with strong potential, good technical infrastructure, and a beautiful natural setting. It offers a diverse mix of people and professions, and it typically provides more stability and flexibility than industry, along with a fair salary.

Svantaggi

Professionals outside the physics discipline are often not given full recognition as subject-matter experts in their own fields and are frequently overridden by individuals in senior or privileged positions. In many cases, decisions are driven more by influence, convenience, or personal preference than by operational needs or technical best practices. As a result, non-physicist professionals may be relegated to routine or less desirable tasks, while higher-visibility projects and decision-making responsibilities are concentrated elsewhere. Basicaly non-physicist professionals are hired to support or maintain systems that were implemented without sufficient planning or domain expertise, leaving significant room for improvement. This dynamic can lead to underutilization of specialized talent, reduced efficiency, operational challenges, frustration among staff, and, over time, burnout. Definitively not a good place to work for non-physicist professionals. NOTE: The actual CEO is Norbert Holtkamp
