Was a fun place to work

Pros

In the old days, Amgen was a big company that worked like a startup. The compensation was good, and there was a collaborative atmosphere and staff were motivated and energetic. The compensation is still good, and there is still collaboration, but not so much energy and motivation.

Cons

Organization and Culture is changing, maybe we are becoming 'big pharma' - but the market seems to like what's happening now, as the stock price is doing really well.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, perks and life balance

Cons

Overly political, if you aren't "in" with the managers you will be pushed around and pushed out. HR is useless and in no ways supports the working class.
