      Pros

      CERN offers a unique international enviroment. Wages (deending on contract type) can be quite interesting, relaxed environment and really fascinating place.

      Cons

      Deending on the contract you get you may not have any retirement or unemployment schema as well as it's very hard to get a permanent contract
