Caisse cantonale vaudoise de Compensation AVS

Having only been a candidate, I unfortunately wasn't able to see what worked well. But their advantages are very attractive.

During the recruitment interview, I expect a constructive, respectful and benevolent exchange, enabling a reciprocal evaluation. However, the interview felt more like an interrogation than a professional dialogue, which was destabilizing. It was also mentioned that team cohesion was a core value of the department. However, during my half-day placement, I did not perceive this dynamic: the atmosphere seemed rather distant, with a very cold manager and a team that gave the impression of operating on an individualistic basis. This is all the more regrettable given that cohesion and support between colleagues are, in my view, essential elements of a healthy and efficient working environment. Finally, I had the feeling that issues relating to mental health and team well-being were not really taken into consideration, despite the fact that this is nowadays a determining factor for both the performance and sustainability of teams. I don't think this is the case in all teams. But it's something that should be reviewed.

Have the opportunity to participate in important and innovative projects such as: - setting up new communication channels - upgrading our IT tools - and other one-off projects are important elements that motivate me on a daily basis. It gives me the feeling of being heard and recognized for my work and perspective, and it makes you feel that every voice counts. What's more, being able to serve the people of Vaud gives me a great deal of meaning in my various activities. One important thing as a young father is to have been able to benefit from 4 weeks' extended paternity leave. This enabled me to take full advantage of my time with my daughter, thanks to this kind of social and human measure that exists within the CCVD. Finally, the working climate is encouraging, and we're given room to be proactive and come up with new ideas.

I still find the internal atmosphere a bit siloed. I think this is quite normal for an organization with over 300 employees and several departments. Encouraging inter-departmental exchanges and collaboration could help to improve cohesion, both in terms of service to our affiliates and between colleagues from completely different departments. That said, team collaboration is particularly strong and enjoyable. Every team I've worked with on a short-term or long-term basis has been particularly supportive and committed on a daily basis.
