Business Outlook
Pros
a) You have the freedom to work on the issues that you believe important... as far you are mostly right b) Most bosses are your peers c) The salary spread is small compared to the rest of the world. That is, the difference between the top management, and the cleaning guy is around 10. d) Holidays
Cons
a) Given CERN 60 years of history, an engineer usually spends > 50% time maintaining old systems that are >20-30 years old b) Short contracts c) Doing a good job does not assure your contractual future. There is quite a lot of luck involved in the process d) You have to actually work :)
