Pros

Beautiful campus. We had lots of camaraderie before January 2025. We still have some activities and some great leaders. The mission is admirable. NIH has some of the best staff in government. Sadly many were let go - just like at other agencies. All of government is tough right now but hopefully we can rise above when all is said and done.

Cons

New leadership is under the thumb of political people
