      Pros

      Nice place to work, international environment, relaxed colleagues. Many positions related with new technologies and research. Flexible schedule, lots of holidays, excellent health insurance.

      Cons

      Much easier to get a job if you have been a student here before. Most of the offers are for only 2-year contracts, it is almost impossible to get a permanent position. High rotation of personnel given the type of contracts.

      Pros

      The employment process is very smooth and supportive. The technical team interviewed me for technical skills, and the HR is very supportive and helpful. Especially I haven't been employed by CERN previously, so I have a lot of questions. The employment team is very helpful and answered all my questions patiently. Also I like the job and my work very much.

      Cons

      Maybe the primary communication method could be email instead of phone calls? I sometimes miss phone calls, but will check every email.
