Scapegoat for interesting Projects, sick-minded corporate culture. Good if you are staff, prison for contractors.

Nothing, it doesnt work...
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Eumetsat is doing some developments for space projects, but it is not really in space business. It is responsible for developing ground systems, where raw data is used to create meaningful data, and it is operating the satellite. All the time I felt like Eumetsat is doing what ESA doesnt want to do. If you are really involved in the space business, I would suggest ESA, Satellite companies, Airbus, etc.
There is a deep discrimination between staffs and contractors. I hated it from the beginning.
As a contractor, you feel all the time you are pressed. The biggest motivation of the contractors is to become a staff one day, which makes the company culture very sick-minded and out of job-oriented. Your successes are not realized.
The only good thing is writing Eumetsat's name on your CV.
Kommunikation
Prople hessitate to talk each other. When possible, they carry on the communication thru 3rd sides, although their rooms are side by side.
People are joining the same meetings almost everyday, but still they tend to use you for communication.
Work-Life-Balance
As a contractor, your start and end times are not recorded. That gives you a lot of flexibility. And you can work 2-3 days homeoffice.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In the last years, some people who has no experience in personal management are assigned to management roles. They may be good at technical area. But if you are in management position, technical things may sometimes come at 2nd place after human management. They dont care about conflicts or motivations of the people.
Interessante Aufgaben
First times, maybe first couple of years, maybe exiciting. But then you will realize that you are doing the same thing all the time.
It kills your productivity.
Gleichberechtigung
You should be Italian to be "more equal". Woman have less chance.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
When the staffs are getting old, they get into pension mood and not really working. This maybe acceptable until a certain limit but Eumetsat closes its eyes completely. You cant get what you need from them.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
I am answering this question as a contractor, not as a Eumetsat staff. I was happy about my company and my salary. Eumetsat pays in netto and staffs get a good money. And there are other benefits for them.
Image
It has good name in the sector, I think this is because of being an international organization and working in a nisch subject.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
As I said before, the only good thing is writing Eumetsat's name on your CV.
