Default Amgen. Tell me about them.

I have a telephone interview.

How is Thousand Oaks?

I applied without really thinking about having to move to CA for the summer.

Ha, my friend from HS is one of their IT manager at their Thousand Oaks office. I think it's one of their main offices.

they seem to be doing well. There's an Amgen complex across the street from me too.

Oh, about TO:

Fine enough area. Expensive to live, and nothing really immediately fun to do, but it's largely clean and close enough to LA so that if you decide to have fun, it's about an hour's drive away.

Telephone interviews suck balls. Just the corps lazy way of recruiting people.
Plus, its such a waste of time.

Well, not immediately, bu you're gonna be a drive away from Weho, which means you can get all the trashiness you can handle h:

I worked with Amgen a few years back on a few oncology research trials, their clinical staff was pretty competent and they reimbursed well for their research. Don't have any clue what it would be like to work for them though.
