Pros

nothing really to look forward to

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism, racism, just awful, management is a bad joke, old equipment, old offices, old technologies. People don't care much about science and work really. Can not recommend to anyone.

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.
