ASSOCIATE FOR PROCESS DEVELOPMENT (Former Employee), Thousand Oaks, CA –
A friendly environment to work in. With opportunity to learn from management. Plenty of research instruments available. Pipeting into the bio gels was the most difficult part of the job. The more rewarding part was the use of the HPLC instruments to confirm theoretical work. Great company and great people.

Good Place to Work
Biotech Sales Rep (Former Employee), Thousand Oaks, CA –
Pros: overall good company to work for.
Cons: managers can be loose canons
I really enjoyed the company. Their biggest problem is their loyalty to their managers over their employees. I had first-hand experienced of a manager that continuously broke their policies; but when several employees advised the company, the manager lied and their word was taken over all of their employees. They later found out what was said was true – more...  and demoted the manager. However by that time, they lost 3 great employees. They also have a no rehire policy which is also a big mistake on their part. – less

Overall a good place to work.
SAP Master Data Mgmt/RapidResponse Admin (Former Employee), Thousand Oaks, Ca –
This is not the small company that it used to be and it shows. As senior management changes, the company is taking on a "big company" environment rather than a "fun and friendly" place to work.

Experience at Amgen
Training Coordinator (Former Employee), Thousand Oaks, CA –
Pros: salary was good
Cons: management style poor
My experience at Amgen was to say the least, unprofessional. The particular manager in the department that I worked in was inexperienced in being a lead person and unable to manage a team. Other departments may be run differently but my personal experience was horrible.
