      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place to work with an international work force. Focus is on quality as opposed to speed. Great salary. Location is amazing. Best job ever and sad my contract finished.

      Cons

      Sometimes the selection process of awarding permanent contracts to staff is questionable.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good working environment, challening work with an international elite. Many opportunities in growing and learning new abilities. Internationally good reputation.

      Cons

      Limited possibilities to stay for a longer time. Limited duration contracts with many extensions. Depending on the group budgets are tight and private laptops have to be used.

      Best workplace to be an intern

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Satisfying salaries even for intern positions - Multi-cultural environment - Supportive colleagues - Lots of opportunities for side training - Quite a lot of days of annual leave - Plus you get to do visits and guided tours in the experiments and other facilities

      Cons

      - Teeny-tiny first-world problem: There are two major sites where you will possibly be working. In Meyrin and Prevessin. Prevessin, where I've been working, is a little bit secluded. Especially if you don't have a car, during the winter you'll probably have to rely on a shuttle that runs just a couple of times every hour to commute.
