Pros

Premier healthcare facility for research Beautiful campus in the heart of Bethesda International reputation Lots of opportunities to do a lot of different things

Cons

Pay is not as generous for similar jobs - can get away with this since it's "NIH". People are always wanting to work here just to get this on their resume even though salary tends to be on the low end. Hard to get into a position now (2015) since veteran preference beats out those even with extensive experience. HR needs much improvement. Traffic nightmare
