      Pros

      - great colleagues and opportunity to learn fundamental physics at the forefront. - diversity - people from nearly 100 nationalities come together to work at CERN. - Geneva is a great place to live in. - work-life balance

      Cons

      - sometimes technologies we use are not cutting edge in order to maintain legacy software or simply because operating a super massive machine such as LHC requires you to be safe and do things the old school way. not a complete drawback but - (if not in physics) good career starter but scope for permanent positions is limited.

      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.
