Pros

Great benefits. Liked the eating establishments.

Cons

You are just a number. My department was run by an insecure, female that only liked staff that 'brown' nosed her.

Pros

Very generous vacation and time off, including week long summer and winter breaks in addition to 3+ weeks of vacation. Thousand Oaks campus has multiple eating options with 3 cafeterias, sushi bar, coffee shops, etc. On campus gym has great instructors with many class options.

Cons

Amgen is in a state of maturity where it has to balance being a large Biotech with its entrepreneurial past. Which means a heavy focus on cost cutting, efficiency initiatives, and periodic layoffs.
