Cons

Everything! The leadership is absolutely toxic in the RDBU. People are being forced out and let go for no reason, silly things, or things that everyone is doing but some people are targeted while others skate by. Management is female and extremely toxic, it’s as if we are being lead by the mean girls club who are trying to prove themselves but they too should have been let go a long time ago. Retaliation is the norm as is management through fear. Disease state is being run like primary care with the implementation of metrics over results, and the newest addition of overlay reps is just an a last ditch attempt to save face before competition. Amgen has ruined this once amazing team.
