Pros

The top research lab in particle physics the world. International and diverse environment. A lot of exposure to a variety of fields (research, computing, public outreach/fund raising, engineering,...) at top level. Excellent infrastructure with on-campus restaurants, banks, post offices, travel agencies and shops.

Cons

Old buildings lacking the comfort of private companies. Too many external visitors/tourists at CERN. Very crowded cafeteria.

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.
