      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Big freedom, intelligent people all around you. You are involved in the biggest scientific experiment in the world! There are lots of clubs and groups (dancing club, car club, fitness club) where you can do what you like and meet new people.

      Cons

      Chaos, there aren't really set ways of working with a project and some things (settings everything up) take lots of time because most of the time the documentation is very scarce. It all takes some time to get used to.
