Amgen – “Senior Associate”

Pros

Benefits are very good.

High quality co workers who are generally great to work with. Top notch science. This is a science driven company and if you have a PhD you'll be happy and energized.

Cons

Promotion and leadership opportunities are few. Project teams seem to be stacked with the same people rather then promoting diversity of opinion,

Very head office centric

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the lip service. Trust and transparency need improvement, Often senior management comes off with arrogance (including towards industry/ investors)
