Pros

Higher pay than avg. Surrounded by good researchers. Strong virology.

Cons

Promotion cycle stalled. Good people are leaving. New hires are based on if they are from amgen, than anything else. Onc and inflam haven't shown much promising outcome since the new EVP joined. A lot of resources and effort lead to nothing due to poor leadership decisions.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
