      Pros

      Working at CERN, you get to work for a leading-edge science experiment. The technology is incredible and you learn so much from the physicists and engineers in your collaboration. You also pick up analytic skills that are highly desired in today's workforce.

      Cons

      It's difficult to get your research through the entire collaboration. Everyone has an opinion about how to best conduct an analysis, and it's your responsibility to convince others your doing everything correctly. Concerns over the smallest details of an analysis can delay a publication by several months. Sometimes this is warranted, but other times it's minutiae.

      Pros

      CERN is a multidisciplinary and exciting place to work at. If you happened to be designing something ( a system, a component for you system for example), you will have a lot of experts in different departments/ sections who can help with. At the end of the day, you will learn so much from them and also achieve things you wouldn't have done on your own. What I like about it most is that in my department (Beams), whoever I work with is very friendly and there was no hierarchical culture that you have to address your boss as doctor or that kind of thing. pretty good holiday system

      Cons

      Good training system. Can do language courses (FR or EN) , technical trainings, programming ....etc as long as your supervisor approves and doesn't affect your workload too much. Good holiday scheme
