Pros
With still a lot of federal money there is abundant resources and infrastructure in place to do great science. Most scientists are dedicated researchers and are very collegial and collaborative. With the shear size of the NIH there is likely an expert in almost every biomedical research field.
Cons
The price of federal funding under the congress is heavy bureaucracy. There are many, many rules and regulations. Every time someone in the government did something wrong the whole government over-reacts and set another set of new rules. Very cumbersome. Many of the management team members are more concerned about liability than anything else.
