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.
