Pros

- Flexible working conditions - Generous relocation and installation allowance, plus annual indemnity amount. - Salary net of tax, and you will pay much less for health issuance for yourself and husband/wife/children than if you were working for another Swiss company. - Family allowance on top of your monthly salary - great plus. - Breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and Jura - Possibility for you and your family to enroll into a French class at CERN - High standards of living in Switzerland. Can also find good accomodationif chose to live in the French side. - Great in your CV! - Restaurant is huge and is an amazing way to network - Countless sport classes and clubs to join

Cons

- Unfortunately contracts are for limited-time only, however is a positive or negative depending on how you see and plan your life. If you love Switzerland...there will always be employers willing to recruit you. If you don't want to stay here for longer than your contract , than return home happy.

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.
