Nice facilities Nice benefits Smart colleagues Entry into Sponsor side of industry

Cons

Unclear expectations Secretive management Terrible “training”, practically sink/swim Serves as entry to industry for a lot of people including “Directors” straight from academia and Sr Managers who don’t have any real skin in the game outside Amgen but want to be elitist and condescending to people more experienced in the industry outside Amgen and are on constant power trips / feel irreplaceable / hoard info
