What's it like working at Amgen - career, compensation, culture, others? As most roles are remote, do you miss the in-person interactions?

I will be interning with them this summer. Any general advice or tips would be helpful. Thanks.

Great work life balance due to remote opportunities. Very subpar compensation.

No promotions in the higher roles. Instead you are encouraged to apply to other groups/functions to move up the ladder.
