      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great work / life balance. There is a new mentorship program that looks like it could be promising in terms of staff development. Staff are encouraged to transfer to internal positions if there is a fit. On site gym and day care facilities.

      Cons

      The bi-annual performance review and feedback process is frequently inefficient, inaccurate, and ineffective. Favoritism is sometimes practiced by mid-level management (as with many places, who you know can be more important than what you know).

      Stable company with good benefits if you aren't in I.T.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amgen is a stable company with good benefits. It's products really do help people, and I can tell that the scientists I have worked are committed and really believe in what they are doing. The company expects their staff to work hard, and yet does understand the need for work / life balance.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, if you are in I.T., I would think twice before coming to Amgen. Outsourcing is the theme for 2008 - 2009. I.S. Infrastructure is underway now, and there will definitely be more to come. Speedy decisions are a think of the past -- too many layers of management with too few people to actually do the work.
