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.

What works well?

Progressive work, opportunities for further training and change, numerous professional training opportunities.

What could be improved?

A bit of old-fashioned management (15 years ago, anyway).

What works well?

Enjoy working for an organization that is close to my values (equality, inclusion, diversity, protecting our environment) and for public service. The opportunity to implement large-scale projects and take on professional challenges that are not easily found in other organizations. A friendly atmosphere within the department and quality working conditions. A management style that gives me autonomy and trust.

What could be improved?

Work processes are not always clear, but things are moving forward.

What works well?

The recruitment process was so swift, 1h30 after my interview I received a phone call telling me the good news. Communication seems fluid and vertical. I can't wait to get started with the City of Lausanne teams.
