Pros

High science and decent pipe line

Cons

Amgen has a great reputation of being a high science, patient focused, and leading bio pharmaceutical company. Leadership portrays an image that does not trickle down to the commercial sales level. There’s so much nonsense going on in the field that leader ship is unaware of. It’s very sad. There’s a big gap between corporate image - which is stellar and would make one proud to wear the Amgen name tag. However there are problems that exist regarding compliance and policy adherence in the field that needs to be uncovered and addressed so that corporate image aligned with reality in the field.
