Pros
Top notch healthcare, benefits, retirement savings, etc. Great culture, management nurtures professional development
Cons
Principle Investigators funded through HHMI are not held to the same caliber as the company
Advice to Management
Develop HHMI-funded investigators into better leaders and mentors and evaluate them on this performance aspect. Let it also be contingent on keeping their funding. The non-interference strategy leaves principal investigators open to developing wasteful spending habits, and carelessness towards their lab personnel. Attaining HHMI funding is somewhat akin to winning the lottery.

Pros
Surround yourself with highly intelligent people (some of the most brilliant people in the world) who will constantly challenge you to think out of the box.
Cons
HHMI is still seeking its true identity. This is both a good and a bad thing.
Advice to Management
Look beyond just publications and recognition in articles/journals. There are far more important tasks at hand.
