Pros
Compensation: salaries and bonuses are generally above industry averages 401K match: Amgen provides up to 10% match on 401K contributions Resources: Usually no problem getting what you need to get the job done Talent: They have recruited some of the best and brightest, but haven't followed through with career development Locations: Research sites in Thousand Oaks, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle and Germany
Cons
The Sr. Management (ED and above) have their own hidden agendas that result in decisions that confuse rather than empower the staff reporting to them Recent change of focus of Sr Management on process rather than progress The research staff is paranoid and not empowered in the decision process
