Pros

On great 401k and vacation time. Excellent resources provided for you to learn/become better at your job.

Cons

Micro management. Too many things to do that take you away from selling. Too many new people with no oncology experience, so traing and meeting are geared for them; very elementary.

Pros

Great place in the early years. The people were positive and we were helping people with life saving therapy.

Cons

But as Amgen grew so the did the politics and the focus is on money and not help patients. Shame to see the values drop and replaced by ways to cut cost and keep several corporate jets in the hangar.
