The people you work with at HJF are amazing. Every scientist that I worked and collaborated with was brilliant and passionate. Truly an amazing aggregation of talent

There's constant bureaucratic frustration. As a graduate student I always knew my time at HJF was finite but I genuinely cannot see how people progress to more meaningful roles. There's no pathway for advancement whatsoever.

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Nothing to learn in here
Cons
Toxic company where all team members have no will to ask or learn and share due to bad management. Of course there are some good people but I believe they all left by now.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
You’ll be working with smart professionals at HJF, with a solid mid-range salary and benefits package, and interesting opportunities to work on and gain skills and experience on different projects.
Cons
There are serious contractor-Federal relationship issues HJF management struggle with that will impact your work and job satisfaction. I’ve heard maternity leave is also an issue although doesn’t apply to me (single male). Low morale in some but not all HJF centers because of the attitude and toxic treatment of contractors leads to unpleasant colleagues and competitive environment. Not a lot of room for advancement if you’re mid-career or higher. Seen some understandable high turnover.
