Business Outlook
Pros
Flexible time, good atmosphere to work in, they do value their employees. The salaries and bonuses are very competitive for the industry. I have worked for other bio-techs and I must say that I miss the 6week paid sabbatical at Genentech but overall Amgen has been a better place to work on a daily basis. The company went through lay offs in 2007 and the working climate suffered but the confidence has grown back up. Overall, Amgen is a great place to work and I really feel proud to say that I work for Amgen. It's not a small company feel but you will feel respected.
Cons
As with all big companies there is it's fair share of politics. I have seen some departments have a lot to deal with in thise aspect and in others it's minimal.
