      Excellent resources and scientists, terrible bureaucracy and facilities.

      Pros

      World-class resources and excellent scientists abound. The research opportunities available at NIH are superb for clinical, transitional, and basic research.

      Cons

      As a junior scientist (Post-Bacc IRTA), I spent far more of my time dealing with red tape than I would have were I doing the same research at a private institution. Scientific projects were often delayed for months at a time due to paperwork being lost and purchases delayed, etc. Facilities (buildings) were grossly inadequate for the current number of staff -- my advisor's "office" was a converted closet in a service corridor, behind a collection of tanks of compressed gasses.
