I have been working at Amgen full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great benefits which include matching 401K and paid company shutdown for two weeks around the holidays.
Cons
Too many initiatives/changes; unstable; toxic middle/lower managers who rise through the ranks with all the changes; nepotism is common. HR is nonexistent.
Advice to Management
Hire managers who walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Beef up the HR dept.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Amgen full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great atmosphere and people. Good vacation time & benefits.
Cons
Constant restructures. Unstructured work and roles. Inconsistent. Some roles are over worked and others under worked. High turn over. Career paths are weak. Can easily hurt your professional life if you don't take care of yourself.
Advice to Management
You say you are serious about talent development but I have yet to see it. Investing in people with attractive salaries is the best way.
