Thank you for your review, which is of course unfortunate to read. Education, knowledge transfer and sharing is one of the key missions of the Organization. CERN hires continuously across its 32 Member and Associate Member States for its student, graduate and professional opportunities. The number of Indefinite staff contract opportunities is indeed limited and therefore a competitive process. We wish you all the best for your future career with what we hope will nevertheless have been a rich, fulfilling, interesting and rewarding experience with CERN.

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.
