      Pros

      great career opportunities, friendly place to be and 'real' values.

      Cons

      expected to work hard and to do more than your job role, work life balance isnt as flexable as it could be.

      Great in the beginning, Amgen's concern for work-life balance is slipping away.

      Pros

      New CEO has great ideas about how to get Amgen into a modern mind set and business model. Drugs really help people with catastrophic health issues. Drugs in the pipeline are very promising. Manufacturing of the Future will become a reality at Amgen on a very aggressive timeline. Global expansion is a priority and is happening quickly opening up a lot of opportunities

      Cons

      Amgen's devotion to operational excellence and lean manufacturing has left them with a dedicated, but exhausted workforce in many areas. Emphasis on metrics and ignoring the actual work place signals regarding workload have dealt a blow to the morale of several departments. There is a lot of middle management doing a lot less than the front line employees.
