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.
