Pros

Great resources, great collaborators, smart people, and competitive pay. If you are looking for an opportunity to learn drug development, but focus on basic (publishable) biomedical research for your postdoc, NIBR is the place to do it.

Cons

If you are looking to get hired on after your postdoc is over, this probably isn't the place to try. It happens, but it's somewhat rare. You also have to remember that publishing is your priority, not anybody else's at the company. Everyone else is focused on making drugs, not publishing.

Pros

Diversity of people; autonomy in the job, excellent compensation package.

Cons

Limited administrative support creates additional demands for hours of activity. This may be operationally efficient but it does not contribute to productivity on the job.
