Pros

One of the best reasons to work at USAMRIID is the chance to help your country; the overall mission is very important and relevant. The science is interesting and provides opportunities to research subjects that exist in very few other places.

Cons

Gossipy work environment, very clique-ish. Management is horrible - supervisors have no managerial experience (or talent for it) and often don't have the science skills to be in their position either. Retaliation is rampant. People complain about serious issues, but nothing ever actually changes. A lot of favoritism.

Pros

Work was not difficult. Interesting and enjoyable research work, it was the best part of the job. Good benefits and vacation time.

Cons

Some DIVs, not all lack strong leadership and personnel management. Really bad things would happen and things would just get sweeped under the rug. Don't get me wrong, not all the people there were like that. The group I worked with had many good people leave, and people that stayed were always toxic. Being unprofessional, swearing, and talking about sex. Back stabbing, lying and libels just because another person was working hard to do an outstanding job because they wanted to or felt threatened. Plus way too much gossip and cliques in idleness.
