      Pros

      Great pay and benefits. Outside of the upper management circles there were still a lot of great people.

      Cons

      Facing a severe down turn because they forgot about the science and the patients. Now its all about the bottom line and pleasing wall street.

      Pros

      Great people. Great medicines to help people.

      Cons

      New upper management. Amgen is going down the path of layoffs every 18 months. Employees last. Profit first.

      The DNA of AMGEN is unraveling

      Pros

      Two weeks of paid shutdown per year. Good benefits. Once you've worked here, you are a desired talent at most biotech firms.

      Cons

      Excessive metrics of every function (analysis paralysis) no longer a nimble organization. Uninspiring management, filled with good old boy politics, promotion of incompetent or mis-casts proteges. Promotions based on who you know, not talent. So many really talented, sharp people have made a mass exodus from the organization due to the politics, poor leadership and inability to move their career forward. The DNA of the company and what it once had as value in the talent pool has evaporated. Most of field sales force are new or less than three years tenure. You'll find a lot of people "hanging on" to keep benefits and retirement options or people that came over for the Amgen they heard of but no longer exist.
