Business outlook
Pros
Compensation is good: stock, stock options, good salary, bonus, and 2 weeks paid time off (4th July & Christmas). Nice campus environment, onsite gym, and cafeterias. Good access to resources.
Cons
It can be very hard to get promoted; too top heavy; can be bureaucratic. A lot of constant re-organizations; one year, had 6 bosses. Many senior management hires from outside the company have difficulty adjusting to Amgen culture and giving clear direction & goals, which affects staff.
