Any department is only as good as the people they have in it. Don't pretend it's all roses there.
Some of the local TRE are quite lacking in technical knowledge and CRM. They do not posess the background or skills to be TRE's and would no be anywhere else. And that is a fact.
Also that portuguese TRE is a nasty piece of work. Neither liked nor respected by his peers and should be weeded out.
That being sayed there are also a lot of good people there, including most probably yourself.
But don't vouch for some of the other specimens there. They are not worth it.
