Pros

Great benefits! 401k: 5% immediately vested (0 contribution required) 100% match - immediate vested (up to 5%) Paid Facilities Shutdown - 2 weeks per year (July 4th & Xmas) State of the art gym

Cons

Meetings...too many meetings resulting in loss of efficiency. Nothing gets done because associates are constantly engaged in meetings.

Pros

high salary, amazing benefits (best in any industry hands down), great vacation time and 401K match. Excellent products and 3 different divisions to sell in.

Cons

Sales data is not reported accurately and therefore, you get screwed on your bonus. Management won't acknowledge sales data reporting issues. Amgen puts quotas on # of people who must get a bad year end review, even if it's not warranted.

Pros

Benefits - they are great Pay - pretty good compaired to industry Buildings and Campus are pretty cool

Cons

Inexperienced Management - they are educated but 9 out of 10 lack practical interpersonal skills. The decision making process (if there is one) is the weakest I have ever seen and the concensus building that occurs is merely an excuse for no one to be held accountable. Adminttedly the environment is complex with global considerations, but senior leadership represents the "smartest group of dumb people" I have ever run accross.
