CERN reviews

Thank you for your review and the time you took to post it. We appreciate your suggestions and constructive criticism. One of the key pillars of CERN’s mission is education and the Organization prides itself in providing on-the-job training to young scientists and professionals. To achieve this, students are given the opportunity to work closely with our experienced staff members thus shaping a widespread age canvas which is a cornerstone of our diversity. Regarding your comment on managers’ autonomy; administrative processes such as training requests are constantly reviewed in order to facilitate employees’ lives and minimize bureaucracy and it can be reasonably argued that the signature level of an automated document in established signature chains is not a reflection of the degree of a manager’s autonomy. It is also about ensuring a balance across teams, monitoring the training courses given to achieve an equitable approach for all. Thank you once more for your review and all the best!

Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you value highly CERN's Fellowship programme. Addressing the issue of permanent positions we have recently reviewed and reassessed our contract policy with a direct aim of increasing long term career prospects for staff.
