Pros

Great comp and benefits !

Cons

- senior executives don't seem to understand the beautiful list of company values - the mission statement seems only an advertising but nothing behind - don't seems to behave socially responsible but only care about topping up the share value at what ever the cost with no attention to company values - HR department in zug is very inefficient and nothing is moving in time

Pros

Flexible work environment Very highly educated people - are large percentage has either a PHD or a Masters and come from the best universities of US 2 week shutdown - summer and winter almost 2 month in holidays, vacations and shutdown Great Benefits Relaxed work environment - business casual dress code

Cons

Technical role with more business management than programming Baby sitting contactors Your skills become rusty Difficult to get into top Tech firms such as Google and Microsoft because their environment is highly technical, challeging which Amgen lacks 9000 dollars in yearly education which got reduced recently due to budget cuts you never know when you will get fired. Lot of waste of money in cancelled projects halfway through. Difficult to advance once you become a Sr. Manager
