Henry M. Jackson Foundation

Is this your company?

Great for the advancement of military medicine, but you can forget about advancement of your career. - Research Associate Henry M. Jackson Foundation Employee Review

Pros

Decentralized work locations mean you forget who you work for. It's nice to be a part of the military environment without actually being required to be in the military.

Cons

Absolutely no room for growth as a person or as a professional. Every job is a deadend. No matter how much you like what you do, you're driven out of the company to find new opportunities.
