Employers with values / Lots of employee benefits
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 - Electr...
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.

Aging hierarchy, but good employee benefits
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 hierar...

Good working environment, but huge potential for improvement
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

Train your managers!...Or change them!
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.
