Pros
Amgen has a lot of money for now and it is more stable than other companies in this industry. The pay is supplemented by generous bonuses and most people don't kill themselves to do their job so even a small amount of extra work stands out.
Cons
You get bucketed very quickly and there is no way to move up very high in the organization from very low no matter what you do. These people got lucky with a few very profitable drugs but are totally clueless about drug discovery. You will not learn from your superiors -- you will teach them.
