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.

Pros

Amgen as a research and development organization has a high level of knowledge and competence. There are opportunities to transfer to sales from the scientific track.

Cons

It is difficult for a non phd to get promoted to the phd level. However, people are compensated well at the associate levels.
