Pros

Great place in the early years. The people were positive and we were helping people with life saving therapy.

Cons

But as Amgen grew so the did the politics and the focus is on money and not help patients. Shame to see the values drop and replaced by ways to cut cost and keep several corporate jets in the hangar.

Pros

Great pay and benefits are best in the industry. Stock options,401k 10% match and fully vested the day you start. Vacation is very generous, a week between Christmas and New Years and a week for summer shutdown. Great pipeline with a great future.

Cons

People with no experience have been made managers and don't have the relevant skill set to manage a team. This truly depends on which division you are in. Recently it is being run more like a Big Pharma company which doesn't fit Amgens philosophy's. Oncology and INBU divisions are worth your time applying for.
