      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The scientist are top notch at NIH. The resources are abundant and available. Their is a closeness with your peers.

      Cons

      Unless you have a degree in the field you are employed in than you are left on the outside of your group. Team building is hit or miss and if you have a degree, moving up the ladder is much easier than not having a degree. This goes double if you are a contractor looking to become a fed. Unless you have really caring, competent management you may feel like a second class citizen.

      Pros

      Good environment, facility, and lots of talks, lectures. It is close to DC, and you can learn a lot when you work in NIH.

      Cons

      You need work hard to get promotion to high positions if you do the research as a fellow, otherwise, you only have maximum 8 years limitation.
