      NIH reviews

      good but not the best

      Research fellow
      Current employee
      Bethesda, MD
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Diversity, no pressure for the grant, lots of scientific opportunities, fair amount of benefits

      Cons

      No bonus, relatively under paid, slow process, hard to get a higher position

      Waste of Time

      Facilities planning manager
      Former contractor
      Bethesda, MD
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This place is just a good spot to spend a year or so for training even though there was no supervision literally over the time I was there.

      Cons

      I worked at NIH for 4 years as a contractor. The government employees were not working efficiently, and they were mostly doing nothing. The leadership team and the contractors were doing most of the work but the government employees were getting the benefits and bonuses.
