Pros

Amgen treated me very well the 11 years I was with the company. It all started with free snacks, lots of Friday afternoon barbecues, and plenty of meetings over sushi lunches.

Cons

It ended when all of our perks disappeared, even our specialty teas and our liquid coffee creamer.

Pros

Overall, the experience at Amgen is not bad. The benefits are great, campus is beautiful, lots great people to interact and learn from.

Cons

The Amgen temp labor model is terrible. It's demeaning to the "temps" and creates poor talent retention for each departments, after they are trained and proficient, it's time to go! But I guess management only looks at the dollar signs.

Pros

Good benefit and 401k match. The work was interesting and the people there were nice at least when I worked there.

Cons

No job security and layoff left and right. Amgen layoff practices are well publicized.
