Pros

- Good starting point in the career - A lot of amazing people - Net income, non-taxable - A lot of unrelated benefits, like discount on gym membership, new cars, and so on

Cons

- While the income is definitely enough, it's no longer adequate to the cost of living in the area. The income started to reflect cost of living increase only two years ago. Before that, it hasn't changed in nearly 30 years, where the cost of life increased at least two fold

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.
