      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The opportunity to speak and to work with some of the best minds in the world I think is something you cannot find in other places, at least not like at CERN. You can have breakfast with a Nobel prize, and working with IT environments out of the ordinary. It's an amazing place to stay.

      Cons

      I think working there for a long time is challenging, or you are an extremely smart person. The cost of life is high but depending on the job the pay can be sufficient (students and phds?) to very good (more responsability).

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + Great salary and benefits. + Many talented engineers.

      Cons

      - 5 year contract after which they say "good bye" or they give you an infinite one. Many people who already have infinite don't do too much.
