Pros

CERN attracts the best of the best, encouraging for a exciting and rewarding environment for researches. They offer unparalleled benefits for the research community, full medical, optic, and dental insurance for you and you family with worldwide coverage.

Cons

CERN management is very regimented and unusually slow for a research center of medium size. Most requests must climb up and down the management ladder. This effect coupled with a very compartmentalized management structure means issues can go un noticed/ un corrected for weeks at a time.

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.
