Pros

Company does important work. Great benefits and vacation time. Beautiful campus. Many smart co-workers.

Cons

Never have enough time to do projects right - always fixing junk later. No appreciation of IS. Too much outsourcing of IS - bad mistake by management. No promotion opportunities, poor pay raises.

Pros

Great benefits (days off, medical package, bonus program, stock options, etc). Mostly high caliber people. Beautiful location and central campus.

Cons

Too many talented people fighting for few advancement opportunities. Some people advance by bullying others. Very little biotech activity in Thousand Oaks outside of Amgen, so most people that leave have to relocate. Real Estate is not cheap, and prices have plummeted recently.
