    Working at the NIH Clinical Center is an extremely rewarding job because you get to see the every day bench to bedside research being conducted at all levels of the chain. Teamwork and communication within diverse interdisciplinary teams has made working here a wonderful and collaborative experience. I wish the food options in the cafeteria were a little better, but that is about it.

    So far, the only hiccup I've had in my experience is the slow processing speed for initiatives/programs. Government agencies have to jump through a lot more hoops and be extremely detail-oriented so I partially understand, but it seems like sometimes things move at a snail's pace.
