      Great Company with poor leadership.

      Pros

      Work-Life balance is very good. They offer many on campus services like car wash, car rentals, several cafeterias, daycare, and a top notch gym.

      Cons

      Poor Senior Leadership is sinking this company. Too many unqualified manager/directors. Middle management is bloated to say the least.

      good benefits and science, but play the politics to advance

      Pros

      alot of pay and some good science. there are lots of smart people to bounce ideas off of and do good independent and collaborative research. hard work is often but not always rewarded.

      Cons

      besides management not listening to employees, there are alot of politics that need to be navigated. you can work as hard as anyone and be the smartest guy in the world and it will only get you about half way in this company.

      Amgen's fall from grace...

      Pros

      Amgen is a great place to start off with excellent benefits. Great resume building company that emphasizes cross functional training and communication.

      Cons

      Although it is a great place to start off, there is a definite ceiling at Amgen and you can easily get caught in a rut if you are not actively pursuing personal and professional growth outside of the company. Senior Management has made some bad decisions in the past few years which have cost the company dearly, not only in jobs but more importantly in company morale. Amgen used to be a place that I was proud to work at, however with all the cut backs, and bad press lately this is no longer the case.
