Pros

It was a wonderful place to work, developing great products, culture, benefits, community involvement. Exciting to be there during growth years.

Cons

Once they started outsourcing, the culture and "amgen values" really changed for the worse Long time workers pushed out for lower salaried replacements.

Pros

Easy hours if you don't want to work hard. People complain about how much they work, but coming from management consulting this seems like a cake walk. Exciting time with many new products being launched. People are friendly, excellent gym, and they offer sport programs.

Cons

Serious limitations on upward mobility. Some people here have been in the same mid-level role for 10+ years, with no hope of ever moving up (they just haven't realized it yet...) Company has been going through lots of transformation over the last 24 months, which has left a large number of people feeling insecure about their jobs.
