long hours and many deadlines

Mission-Driven Work: The EIB is the bank of the European Union, financing projects that have a significant positive impact on the lives of EU citizens. Working at the EIB means being part of a team committed to contribute to meaningful projects like sustainable infrastructure, scientific research, and climate action.

Work-Life Balance: The EIB values work-life balance and offers flexible working arrangements, such as partial teleworking within Luxembourg (2bd per week) and 20bd outside Luxembourg per year.

Limited Career Progression: Career progression within the EIB can be slow, with limited opportunities for advancement compared to the private sector. The entrance category should be negotiated it is more important than the salary for your career progression. Work-Life Balance: While the EIB promotes work-life balance, some teams (operational teams) experience long hours and high workloads, particularly during peak project periods. High Cost of Living: The EIB is headquartered in Luxembourg, which has a high cost of living. This can be challenging, especially for those on entry-level salaries or traineeships.
