That Amgen is a lousy place to work or is laying off staff? Seriously - it means nothing other than three people from Amgen now work at Mannkind. |

Amazing, another marketing guy. This one specialized in data-based marketing. IMO these guys have a lot of attractive alternatives to go to if Amgen is really such a lousy company. Why did they chose MNKD?

Why did they chose MNKD? Same reason Mike did. They have nothing to lose. Get loaded up with options and if MNKD does succeed they will cash out big time and have this turn around on their resume for what ever job they want going forward. If MNKD doesn't succeed they go back to mid/large corporate and the first item they discuss in interview is how MNKD was a financial mess before they even got there. The gamble is almost once in a lifetime and worth it. |

Objection, your honor! That calls for speculation on the part of the witness. However, it could be as simple as it means that MNKD will be the next Amgen. |

Valencia is close to Thousand Oaks. |

The gamble is almost once in a lifetime and worth it. Mike has been with MNKD for about a year. I don't think that he would persuade the others to get into a career or money trap. He should know by now. Would you consider the year Mike spend with MNKD as valuable from a CV perspective? Sales remained pretty low. This is not an achievement and blaming others in the next interview will not help. Options are nice but only if the company does not go bankrupt. I assume that they would have received options too if they had moved to a different company. It is not "options vs no options". |

I think the speculation about what this means is a little silly but the hiring is not negative. Since most news is negative, when we get news that is not negative it kind of feels like positive news.
Thank you kuka for posting this. No matter how you interpret the hiring it is actual news so it is better than most of the stuff that is posted here.

FYI, Amgen is known as a great place to work. My grad student worked for them for a while and loved it until he got an offer he couldn't refuse from another firm.

Who was it that said if 3 people from Amgen management get hired by MannKind then it's definately a buyout by Amgen. Not that I believe it but somebody on this board mentioned it.
Just funny that now there are 3

I remember when Jay left Sanofi in April 2009, everyone predicted a Sanofi takeover of Amgen. Whatever happened to that?

Valencia is close to Thousand Oaks. Brentie, What is the official address of The West Coast office? Know that we have a contract to sell the Valencia building, are we going to lease a small amount of space in that building or be relocated to another address? What is that address. |
