Pros

Great benefits (days off, medical package, bonus program, stock options, etc). Mostly high caliber people. Beautiful location and central campus.

Cons

Too many talented people fighting for few advancement opportunities. Some people advance by bullying others. Very little biotech activity in Thousand Oaks outside of Amgen, so most people that leave have to relocate. Real Estate is not cheap, and prices have plummeted recently.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
