I was an industrial postdoc for 3+ years. Here are some pros and cons in hindsight: Pros 1. Higher salary and better benefits. 2. Superior infrastructure, central facility support, state-of-the-art research/manufacturing facility. 3. Exposure to company pipeline projects, which might become real medicines in a few years. 4. A clear advantage over academic postdoc when come to industrial job hunting, although the chance to be retained in the same company could be much lower than external candidates. Cons 1. Need to focus on aspects related to commercial interests rather than basic science. 2. Publications and conference abstracts might be scrutinized/denied by the legal. 3. Often deemed "low priority" within the pyramid structure. 4. No chance to apply for K99, more difficult to apply for AP. Just my two cents. BTW, in CNIBR or NIBR here, scientists are BS/MS level associates. People with phD often start with Investigator title.
