      Pros

      Everything! I spent the best years of my career life so far there. It was my dream for years to work at CERN, and once I achieved it, it was everything I expected and more. You will meet the most interesting and intelligent people in the world. Wonderful working environment, fantastic projects. Wonderful!

      Cons

      A bit isolated from Geneva and everything around. Easily fixed, if you learn French.
