Pros

It is the biggest research laboratory in the world. You can work on a research or engineering project in Physics or Computing from 8 to 13 weeks. Food is good and relatively cheap in the restaurants. There are lectures and lot of programmes to take part. You can work in the countryside instead of a metropolis.

Cons

Salary is smaller compared to other Computer Engineer intern jobs in expensive regions like Geneva.

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.
