What works well?

The ECA's missions are benevolent and at the service of others. It's important for me to work for such values. I've worked for several companies and I'm convinced that ECA is a very good employer: - Good social security coverage - Meal benefits at the company restaurant - Parking available - Electric bikes available - Ergonomic workstations - Company and team outings - Good atmosphere and respect for colleagues

What could be improved?

Sometimes lacking a little dynamism and certain processes a little cumbersome, but we've known worse and it's evolved well over the last few years.

What works well?

- very good social benefits (occupational benefits, salaries, company outings, holidays, events for employees and children) - relatively flexible working hours - diverse professions that meet and sometimes work together.

What could be improved?

- Management and business management: Too many managers, too much control and supervision of employees. - Rigid structure and little openness between the different divisions. Each division goes its own way without looking at what its neighbour is doing. - Archaic hierarchy and governance: the hierarchy is very vertical, not very attentive to the employees and not grateful enough to the employees. - The company advocates the right to make mistakes, but some managers focus on the shortcomings of employees rather than on their quality. - HR not listening and not willing to find solutions. Usually defends managers instead of employees. - Cumbersome and very restrictive processes. Lots of unconstructive sessions and tend to spread themselves too thinly over too many projects that either don't get done or don't get done optimally.

What works well?

- Flexible working hours - Job stability - New building

What could be improved?

- Increase the resources (staff, skills) of the IT division - Improve project management: few resources, no definition of priorities, more manager than executor, unrealistic objectives - Have a long-term, coherent vision for all divisions

What works well?

The new building provides an optimal working environment. Attractive benefits. Virtually unlimited budget.

What could be improved?

Archaic, egocentric management, not customer-oriented and benevolent. Very vertical hierarchy and non-existent and/or incompetent decision-making axis. Conflict between divisions, contradictory visions, wasted budget. In short: a noxious work climate.
