Pros

Amgen has excellent compensation and excellent benefits, a strong budget for each department which equates to cutting edge technologies, first class facilities, and highly educated employees.

Cons

It is very easy to get pigeon-holed into doing one thing at Amgen and no one gets to have ownership over anything because every project is shared. It seemed like there was a lot of competition between sites instead of collaboration. As with any large company, there is a little bit of complacency.

Pros

Amgen has great benefits including a long vacation period. They also have the ability to have work life balance. The facilities are very nice.

Cons

The issue that Amgen is facing is the lack of promotional opportunities. They have a lot of middle management that has been here forever and not top performers.
