Great reputation but worse everyday
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good canteen
Good healthcare
Many facilities
Internationality
Many parties
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Bad life-work balance
too much politics
hirarchy
not experienced group leaders
not good for PhD
because of no pressure to get grants, not so many publications come out, only stress on data that are good for very high journals
many PhDs left EMBL without paper.
Usually you do not get to use all holidays
no senior mentorship for PIs

I did my PhD there and like many of my friends I have been extremely unhappy. Too much politics. Only data that are good enough for high journals are submitted for publication. Everybody works very long hours. Most PIs are very young and inexperienced.
Good things are salary as you don't pay tax, and good facilities. But in my view the quality drops every year.
