      Apr 23, 2015
      Scientific review officer/health scientist administrator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exposure to important emerging scientific concepts; lots of chances to meet leading scientists; flexible work scheduling. Very good, smart colleagues. Very good benefits (for now)

      Cons

      Relatively flat organizational structures allow for fewer promotional options. As of the past 5 years, salary tracks stalled at least 15 percent behind where they should be. Over exposure to political machinations of Congress and the Executive Office.

      Senior clinical research nurse

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
