Thank you for submitting your review. Coming to CERN for a staff contract is a great opportunity, whether in engineering, technical, support functions or physics. Whilst at CERN you have the chance to work on a diversity of tools, technologies, projects, making lasting connections with a wide network from around the world. The learning and development opportunities are there to help individuals grow to be best equipped for their future after CERN and we strive to ensure we give the best support to prepare the transition for those leaving the Organization. The CERN Alumni network is also a rich resource for current and former CERN employees. https://cern.alumni. We wish you all the best!
