Pros

You can meet a lot of different, awesome and pro-active people. Good health insurance and holidays. Great location to live in.

Cons

Depending on the team you land your experience can either be very good, reasonable or very bad. Many things seem to move slowly.

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.
