      Great company when you look at all the aspects, uncertain future however.

      Pros

      The benefits are really amazing; from the 3 weeks starting vacation to the 15+ days of company holiday and 10 "family days". The 401K mathing is really great. Remember if you are lucky enough to work here, this was a Top Employer a few years ago.. the benefits have not changed. If you are willing to see it, there is a very upside to working for a pharma company, you are truly working to make product to help people (yes there is a profit in there also), but we don't make baby soap, we help people in need.

      Cons

      The companies future is very uncertain right now. In reality however, its a very profitable company. Many of the senior management are from the windfall days and never learned to make good decisions; at times priorities waffle and hard decisions are hard to achieve.

      Pros

      Amgen was a good place to work, benefits are good (except for stock options now).... work life balance is good. The severance package they offered in 2007 was GREAT!

      Cons

      Woring at Amgen is either very, very busy with not enough resources to get the job done, or completely boaring with nothing to do.... Management needs to spend less time in management training, and actually do some managing!
