The once mighty Amgen

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, good people to work with for the most part (every company has questionable individuals who slipped through the interview cracks), cool high tech equipment, financial compensation for high performance individuals

Cons

Lack of growth opportunity, upward movement only due to attrition, questionable future of current processes. You never know when the next RIF is coming or if a product/project will have the plug pulled. The old school culture was amazing, the new culture is purely business with the focus entirely on the bottom line.
