Pros
Best 401K match in industry, two shutdown weeks (7/4 and 12/25), very smart employees, used to be a great company.
Kontras
Sr. management only cares about investors because they only care about their own well-being, although they constantly claim that they care about patients and employees - they are politicians rather than entrepreneurs. Amgen employees have become cheaper and cheaper during the past 10 years. In recent years, the company has come up with a lot of stupid and ridiculous cost-cutting "initiations" (e.g., Amgen does not even provide garbage cans to employees while every one gets a small cup-size container at work - lol). Chances for career advancement are slim to none, particularly for those at the Sr. manager level. The management does not care if talented employees leave the company because they only care if they can stay for the rest of their lives.
