      Pros

      - International and multicultural environment, a lot of young people, a lot of opportunities for informal communication and after-work activities - Plenty of opportunities for learning: there is a good mix of experienced developers who can mentor you and junior developers who bring new ideas into the project - Working with up-to-date software technology: many teams take the time to research new technologies and update their stack - Good working conditions and infrastructure: offices are spacious, many on-site services from restaurant to post office, lots of holidays

      Cons

      - Career opportunities are limited, long-term contracts are not many and may be difficult to acquire

      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.
