Pros

The work carried out here is very exciting, highly enjoyable and very rewarding. Interest in research and development is very high, so if you enjoy developing new technology it is a wonderful place to work.

Cons

It is located in the swiss countryside, the nearest biggest city is Geneva which is not a very large city. Work hours are sometimes highly variable depending on project deadlines.

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.
