Pros

Great benefits - very generous vacation policy and benefits. They have two weeks of paid shutdown, one during the 4th of July weekend and the other between christmas and new year's, on top of vacation you accrue. The nice thing about the one week shutdowns - no emails or work related stuff to catch up on when you return!

Cons

Promotion criteria are not always fully transparent (and results in science depend on a bit of luck in addition to work)

Pros

In terms of the people as well as the work life balance it doesn't get better than working at Amgen.

Cons

I think the collaboration cross functionally isn't always obvious and sometimes it seems like there is alot of redundancy across the company.
