      Pros

      Fantastic mission, If you really want to feel connected to something larger than yourself where biomedical research is on the cutting edge that could one day make breakthrough discovery, you buy into the mission.

      Cons

      I found the culture to be unhealthly. I worked in an administrative, operational environment. There was the formal hierarcy, but also the shadow culture where decisions are made about who gets promoted, groomed, etc. There was little opportunity to penetrate that structure. Needless to say, and an outflow of that, was a lack of diversity, i.e., there was little or no opportunity, no matter how talented you are, to get out of the operational environment.

      Pros

      better funding opportunities than somewhere else in research, many training opportunities, flexible working time

      Cons

      Large organization, too bureaucratic, no flexibility in terms of salary increase, no competitive place therefore some people do not work as much as in academia
