Pros

In my job searches I could not find a company that paid more or gave better benefits than I receive at Amgen. We do a lot of fun things within our smaller groups and with the whole department/site. This helps build morale. My group in particular is very tight nit and I enjoy my coworkers.

Cons

The current state of the industry has cut some of the group spending. It has also dropped our stock prices. Sometimes it can feel as if though you are disconnected from the company since it is "corporate" at times.

Pros

I work on products that are saving lives every day. My management promotes and supports continuous development on and off the job. I work with other smart people to solve the some of the most important and challenging problems in our society.

Cons

Amgen is a grew from a small biotech into a large company that still has not developed all of the right systems. Regulatory and human safety requirements impose constraints and create difficulties that are unimaginable in many other industries. We sell our products in a complex operating environment with new competitors, legal issues, ethical challenges, and risky science. These operating challenges make the most simple tasks difficult.
