Amgen – “Come here to rest on your laurels, but not if you're seeking fast career progression”

Pros

Good pay, collaborative environment, outstanding benefits, smart colleagues, being part of a larger mission of delivering important medicines to patients

Cons

Some longer-tenured folks who enjoyed the golden days of Amgen and maintain a large sense of entitlement towards pay/benefits/rewards

Culture here is that everyone is "nice," but this can translate into passive-aggressiveness or even slowed decision-making due to the need for concensus. Bureaucratic, no longer a nimble organization. It's accused of slowly turning into Big Pharma for a reason
