Ask HN: Does Anyone Work at CERN?
I'm really impressed with what CERN is doing and their philosophies on research and development of tools. Their career site is really eye-opening: https://careers.cern
Does anyone work there? What is the environment like? What's it like to be a software engineer there?
- gregjor 7y agoApparently around 2,500 people work at CERN. https://home.cern/about/who-we-are/our-people https://home.cern/about/who-we-are/our-people Some have written about it. https://www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-work-at-CERN https://www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-work-at-CERN Thanks, Google.
- jason_slack 7y agoThanks to Google, yes and I see that. My hope was to hear from an actual person in a venue I already participate it. I apologize I didn't make that clear.
- catacombs 7y agoOP is asking for someone who works at CERN. I do appreciate the smartass answer.
- tnolet 7y agoOff topic, sort of. You can get a free 2 hour tour of CERN and the LHC buildings in Geneva. Did it last year and was awesome. Tour guides are working scientists, not PR department employees.
- Petrakis 7y agoI have been there, for a tour and also participating in a CERN Hackaton, it was amazing and now I know a couple of people working there.
- jason_slack 7y agoWow, that sounds pretty great. Thank you for mentioning it.
- quickthrower2 7y agoSorry I can’t answer your question, but I did enjoy the doco “Particle Fever” about CERN, life at CERN and the Higgs boson. You might enjoy it.
