Thank you for your review. We are very pleased to read that you think so highly of CERN and we couldn't agree more with you that this is the best place in the world for particle physics. However it's rather unfortunate to learn that you feel lack of job security which affects your self-esteem. We therefore welcome you to contact us at recruitment.service@cern.ch if you wish to further discuss and share more on this matter.

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.
