Pros

There are a lot of opportunities in Amgen, looking at career-paths. That's a benefit of a big company, I guess. Pay is above market-average and the additional benefits are really good. Travel-policy is very flexible

Cons

A lot of cuts are being made the last years. CEO was hired to raise the stock-price and he does so by laying people off and steering to an extreme thin organization. A lot of management-layers, where most are in good shape though. Most departments have off-site management, leaving Contractors and Staff to be wandering around with 30% work and 70% coffee. No actions taken on that by management, as they can't see it. Work itself can be challenging, if you trigger yourself and hand challenges to yourself and your manager.
