Thank you for your review and your return on experience. It's great to read work-life balance ranked highly in your experience! Thank you also for your feedback on the contract duration and earlier termination idea, which we will bear in mind in our review of the policy. Thank you and all the best!

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.
