Pros

As for a student from biomedical informatics background, there is no doubt that NIH is a very good place to work. Specially, spending a summer to be an intern there. You can get a great opportunity to know a lot leading researchers.

Cons

There are too many post-docs, which gave me a feeling that some people there end up their career with a forever-post-doc position.

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.
