    Amgen Anonymous in South San Francisco, CA:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    Good benefit (two company shutdown time per year and good 401K) with OK salary ( little bit below the average).

    Cons

    Very bad management and HR department. It is very difficult to advance your career to next level within the company.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Need lots of improvement of management and the current promotion policy. Value and retain the talent in a smart way
