Pluspunten

a) You have the freedom to work on the issues that you believe important... as far you are mostly right b) Most bosses are your peers c) The salary spread is small compared to the rest of the world. That is, the difference between the top management, and the cleaning guy is around 10. d) Holidays

Minpunten

a) Given CERN 60 years of history, an engineer usually spends > 50% time maintaining old systems that are >20-30 years old b) Short contracts c) Doing a good job does not assure your contractual future. There is quite a lot of luck involved in the process d) You have to actually work :)

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

Maybe the primary communication method could be email instead of phone calls? I sometimes miss phone calls, but will check every email.
