Pros
NIH is a fantastic agency filled with smart, devoted people. There is a great work/life balance and a lot of support for families. Researchers are given substantial autonomy and many resources for furthering skills and expertise.
Cons
It can be challenging to move up as an intramural scientist given the pyramid system of one tenure-track investigator or chief with many staff under them. So promotion opportunities are limited.
