      Pros

      great benefits, salary, health insurance, 30days/leave per year + 2 weeks during Christmas

      Cons

      The organization is focused on collaboration which means that it's very slow to take any decision and make any meaningful change. No career development plan.

      Thank you for your review and observation! As an organization with so many diverse large-scale, high-tech projects, funded by Member States and collaborations across the world, collaboration is a core value for CERN and while it can appear to make the pace slower, the mission and objective of Science for Peace justify its necessity. Thank you for taking part!

      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.
