A nice name on the CV, catastrophic management
What works well?
There are many advantages to being a staff or student, including discounts and lower meal costs. The people who work there are all smiling and do their best.
What could be improved?
Managers are more egocentric and focused on their own success than that of their teams. Salaries are too low, except for management. An incompetent HR team that regularly makes mistakes.

Mobbed, bored, frustrated and exhausted
What works well?
Always paid on time and the infrastructure is comfortable. Parking is easy. In some cases, no one cares if you're there (stay at the cottage or work somewhere else!).
What could be improved?
This can be frustrating if you're not used to the environment (private academia). You can become invisible (unless there's a complaint). Management is distant, inaccessible and unsympathetic - except with certain people with whom you need to be on good terms. You have to accept many elaborate plans...

Flexible working conditions
What works well?
7 weeks vacations, meal plans, parking and sports facilities.
What could be improved?
The work ambience looks quite nice but people are stressed out and lots of internal fights between the educational sectors. New managerial team can't hold talents, seems they make decisions and see what happens.

Dehumanized process and disrespect for candidates.
What works well?
The school is well marketed. Worldwide reputation. The tongue-in-cheek approach works very well, as evidenced by the fact that the company is BCORP and "best place to work", whereas for some categories it's hell.
What could be improved?
EHL, aware of its superiority, treats people like cattle. No respect, total opacity of the process, formatted response arriving 2 months after the announcement, and strange selection criteria. I even got more than I bargained for, with unquestionable achievements. No call, no interview, nothing. Thi...

7-week vacation, almost free meals
What works well?
Recent restructuring of the recruitment department with the arrival of a highly qualified person dedicated solely to this task.

Amazing school with a strong HR culture
What works well?
I have accepted a different offer in the country I am based at and won´t be moving forward with my recruitment process at EHL but I am leaving it with a really good impression of the school and hope that our paths will cross again in the future. The Directors I have spoken with in the interviews wer...
What could be improved?
I had a really good candidate experience while applying at EHL from start to the end. Although there were not a lot of details on the job description, the HR partner was very helpful in explaining the role and expectations to me and I felt supported throughtout the whole recruitment process. I´ve re...

What could be improved?
Nothing - everything was streamlined and the next steps were clearly laid out
