Pros

The exceptional professionalism, integrity and highly collaborative hiring staff. As a former Amgen employee, I knew I would receive professional hiring staff and I definitely was treated with high quality professionalism and the Amgen Talent Acquisition Team went above and beyond to support me through the re-hiring process. I'm thrilled to be an Amgen employee again!

Cons

I don't have any cons. I have been in the industry for 22 years and Amgen is indeed exceptional.
