      Pros

      Great, very intelligent workforce, made up be a good mixture of PhD students, post-docs and professors. Beautiful place to work. Very close community. Lots of people to discuss ideas and problems.

      Cons

      Can be hard to make a significant contribution if part of a large analysis group. Long term employment (Lectureships) are scares Sometimes a few too many meetings.

      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.
