tbh, neither, but if I had to pick, Amgen

Amgen internal bureaucracy seems really political and cumbersome

Biogen, the whole aducanumab saga is a real turn off, between how they pushed it through for approval and the fact that without it, they're in a real revenue pickle.

What would you pick between a hamburger and a fried chicken sandwich

Amgen, bigger company, more growth & I know people who worked there and enjoyed the WLB. Biogen is a bit smaller but I have no insight into the WLB and growth.

I would have said biogen before aducanumab. Now I think amgen, but not by a significant lead

Consulting at both, Amgen

like

Culture and just the maturity.

Amgen is big enough to think about the future and how they will scale profitably but not too large that they can’t pivot.

Which pipeline do you find more compelling and interesting? Amgen has a focus on oncology, Biogen in CNS. I’d take aducanumab out of the factors, unless you’re working directly on that product.

Amgen and it isn’t close
