Pros

Great people. Great medicines to help people.

Cons

New upper management. Amgen is going down the path of layoffs every 18 months. Employees last. Profit first.

Pros

The benefits were OK, nice newer facilities, they did lots of employee feedback gathering

Cons

Frequent layoffs and reorganizations which seemed to be due to planning issues and moving work overseas. At one point they made grand announcements about expanding the site and hiring lots of people, then did a 180 and had several layoffs and are close to inactivating the site now. Not great for career development or even maintaining current skills; I wasn't able to attend any seminars, classes or conferences for my skill set outside of the Amgen site, much less out of town.
