Pros

Fantastic talent! Scientists who care about helping people and making a difference to the medical world.

Cons

While CEO does a great job of pulling in the financial support his executive team is doing him a disservice. Management is terrible at communication, no clear vision, goals change constantly, if they have a plan it's not communicated to the company.
