      Pros

      Great conditions for research, few distractions or additional admin to do, a very diverse place where there is always tons going on - from physics to outreach to seminars and courses. The food is very good as well. It's a plus to know that you are part of this wonderful organization.

      Cons

      Offices are a bit shabby, but there are renovation works all around (then you have drilling noises). Possibility of getting a permanent job is almost nonexistent.

      Pros

      The employment process is very smooth and supportive. The technical team interviewed me for technical skills, and the HR is very supportive and helpful. Especially I haven't been employed by CERN previously, so I have a lot of questions. The employment team is very helpful and answered all my questions patiently. Also I like the job and my work very much.

      Cons

      Maybe the primary communication method could be email instead of phone calls? I sometimes miss phone calls, but will check every email.
