This is THE place to be for physics! As a summer student you get to not only work with amazing physics at one of the world's most amazing experiments, you also get to share this experience with others who are as passionate about their subjects as you are.
Cons
I don't really think there were any downsides to the Summer student programme, perhaps that it is only available for a limited 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.
