      Pros

      The Office of the Director (OD) is constantly trying to find ways to improve the employee experience, through connecting employees to the mission, hosting races and festivals, creating employee assistance programs, engagement activities. Senior leaders of NIH listen to staff feedback and constantly try to improve things. For example, the new anti-harassment program.

      Cons

      Experience will vary across ICs and depending on your job series. Some ICs commit more than other to the employee experience, and in a scientific setting some of the Principle Directors are a-holes while others are fantastic leaders. In a place with over 20k employees it can't be perfect in every corner.

      Pros

      Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

      Cons

      Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
