Pros

Direct impact on patient health and safety, opportunities to learn.

Cons

1) recent focus on hiring recent graduate has led to exodus of experienced people who had a hard time battling the impossible to earn promotion. 2) extreme nepotism. There are VPs who go door to door to low level managers, pressuring them to hire their favorites. 3) no plan for talent retention, leading to loss of experienced and skilled worker. It is very likely than Amgen soon faces a major safety disaster due to lack of experienced staff.
