Pros

Amgen has a great pipeline and wonderful employee benefits. Working on diverse new drug targets. Fabulous biologics production capabilities. Expect approval of new drug in Q4 '09.

Cons

Layoffs are happening quitely. More jobs are being outsourced. Hiring and promotions are frozen. There is lots of talk about individual development, but no budget and no promotional opportunities.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
