Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate hearing that our salary and holiday package contribute to a positive employment experience. However, we regret to read about the challenges that you have encountered in 2018, including the management style, HR vision and decision making process. Since your review, eu-LISA has continued to develop and improve. First of all, we are interested in how our employees feel about the management dynamic. We aim to foster an environment of open communication and mutual respect. Therefore, your feedback is valuable as we continuously work to improve and create a workplace culture where employees feel safe and empowered to express their opinions, take risks, and innovate without the fear of negative consequences. Secondly, eu-LISA’s HR vision outlines the long-term aspirations and strategic objectives of the Human Resources unit. The objectives are every year reviewed, adjusted, and communicated. Lastly, we recognise the importance of a smooth decision-making process. We have recently implemented agile working methodologies within various eu-LISA units to improve efficiency and productivity.

Pros

Salary and social-health benefits. The “golden cage” effect is what keeps people here. If it was not for money and benefits, I would leave looooong ago. And Tallinn and Estonia are not the most heartwarming people😆

Cons

This is definitely the most toxic environment I have worked in ever. Incapable, self-sufficient and arrogant managers (worst combination) that never took or a even planning to take any personal or HR related basic training…No, incapable HR - led by their pleaser and cover up overwhelmingly incapable Head or HR, encourages and awards them for their abusive, condescending, harmful, bullying and damaging behaviour. No personal development, career paths and positive competition exists. However, the suck ups and praise singers are awarded for their loyalty, rather than capabilities and results. Nothing will ever change as the incapable and not accountable management supports the HR and vice versa, supported by their “flying monkeys”. Instead with dealing with complaints and terrible satisfaction results, HR indulges themself in senseless and expensive campaigns with no end… And to spice it up…if you are Estonian, for sure you will not only get a job, but a fat promotion with it… The place reeks of corruption and nepotism, but the EU does not eat its own children, right? Smart, perspective and amniotic professionals for your own good: please stay away!!!

Pros

Strassbourg is beautiful city. EU and varied work.

Cons

„Trumpism". Corruption. Hoax. Mobbing. Chaotic work with endless meetings led by external private companies - unprofessional. Cliques, Unequal treatment and Harassment depending on who you are and who are your Friends there. The 2 blondies in TLN were toxic and lying.
