Pros

Real emphasis on doing good science and meeting medical needs. Matrixed organization means easier to access upper management directly for discussion.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities from within seem slim - they do not appear to have promoted many from the internal ranks, rather looking for external people to fill key upper mgmt roles.

Pros

Friendly environment. The pressure is very low compared to other organizations. Salary is better compared to other organizations for the same post.

Cons

They don't provide H1B for freshers in any field. So its bad for international applicants to get through a visa.
