Respectful, modern employer
What works well?
Work processes are clearly defined, and we know who does what and how. The working hours are flexible, which means that my private life and work can be combined in a way that allows me to study on the side with complete peace of mind.
What could be improved?
I have excellent memories of my professional experience at SSL. I had the chance to work with a lot of very friendly and professional people who made the collaboration go smoothly. The working environment was ideal, with well-centered, functional offices. Indeed, there's always room for improvement, but it's already very good what the City has done to date, which is why I have nothing to say. It's an exemplary, dynamic employer who operates in tune with the times and with clear communication.
