Business Outlook
Pros
Great benefits, good salaries, a "prestige" name in biotech
Cons
Amgen is run like it was taken over by a hedge fund. No corporate culture left whatsoever. They call themselves a "science based company." The products are based on great scientific research but the rest of the company is noticeably lacking in the consideration of science or even intelligence. There is a noticeable dearth of smart people here. They love people with fancy MBA's from elite institutions but they like followers here, innovation is decidedly frowned upon. Sales and marketing have lost almost all connection to any real appreciation of scientific data.Not their fault, senior management has profit as the singular and exclusive goal.
