Pros

Excellent colleagues, good benefits (at par for Biotech), flexible work schedule

Cons

Heavily political, not a meritocracy, jobs I held were heavily focused on profitability management vs innovative approaches to commercialization or patient outcomes.

Pros

Nothing good to mention about this company

Cons

Everything is unnecessarily over-complicated. The company has a terrible medical & dental insurance policy. Even basic healthcare benefits are not provided in case you miss to elect the plan in certain time.

Pros

- Interesting problems to solve - Smart, dedicates team in pockets

Cons

- Focus on squeezing pennies out of an archaic business model with a cost reduction focus - Good old boys club. If you don't have a senior executive advocate, be prepared to start and end your career at Amgen in a similar capacity - Below market compensation
