      Pros

      World-class scientists to work with. Colleagues that are passionate about their work.

      Cons

      Archaic management structure. Geneva not an amazing city in comparison with other international cities. CERN staff inflexible and know that they can be unreasonable with no consequences. Private life not as good as other cities.

      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.
