      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a LOT of awesome things to hear about and understand in CERN. There are very specific use cases, the technologies used are super varied. Definitely a great experience!

      Cons

      Since it is pretty complicated to make updates, there is some amount of legacy code and it can be hard to move everything to newer technologies.
