Pros

There are so many wonderful training opportunities and scientific seminars to attend while at NIH. It's a diverse work place where collaborations between scientists easily occur.

Cons

NIH only allows trainees to stay for 5 years. Sometimes a project is not complete in 5 years, but is close to publication. NIH will not extend the employee beyond 5 years unless there are unusual circumstances.
