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

Amgen is a great company that is in the business of putting patients first and treating grievous illness. It's offers great benefits and a friendly environment to work in. And, it's a fun place to work!

Cons

The economy has been tough and Amgen is not immune to its effects. Downsizing is common in these times but employees are compensated for their time here.
