Pros

Good pay and benefits, comfortable casual environment, and our products change people's lives.

Cons

Too much red tape in making decisions. Corporate runs the show and sometimes does not understand the field/remote site's issues.

Pros

Nice atmosphere (the look of the facilities in T.O.). Nice to have Amgen on your resume.

Cons

Upper level Management is like an abused Mental Patient. One moment we are going in a direction the next moment we are going the opposite direction. Then for no apparent reason we are laying off 120 people then we are not. Upper level management is the worst group of self serving narcissists you will ever encounter. If you are into wild rides go work for Amgen. If you want stability look elsewhere.

Not the worst place to work in

Pros

Great benefits. Two company shutdowns (christmas and summer) in addition to regular 15 days of vacation. Great tuition reimbursement too, I was able to complete my masters degree and they paid for it!

Cons

The management tends to not listen to the employees, and only to their favorite people. It seems to be difficult to reach professional growth here...
