Pros

it is a job, good benefits, other than that, I cannot think of any other reasons to work for AMO

Cons

Unethical behavior by superiors, rude co-workers, selfish attitude of management, does not like giving you time off; Worked in the RA/Medical Compliance department and people are rude, and do not take responsibility for their work. Dominating attitude of do not take responsibility for your own self, but blame someone else. Had a supervisor who harassed me at home, and co-workers who were friendly one minute, but rude the next. I had ideas for workflow improvement and wanted to present my ideas to the VP of my group/department. Supervisor would not allow me to submit my thoughts to the VP. Employees seem more interested in their bonuses and merit increases than ethics. You are expected to work overtime, no questions asked. You are expected not to use your sick/vacation time. Around the holidays it becomes a race for who can get to their boss first to get the best days off. Then, you get the days you want off, but your co-workers do not, and they are rude to you for it because they have to take alternate days off. You should not have to compete for time off, nor be made to feel bad because you take time off. AMO quickly became an atmosphere of backstabbing, manipulative, people only interested in themselves. Stay away from AMO. Will never work there again. Salary was $40k/year

Company CEO making bad decisions, company behind the times

Pros

The good news is that some areas have a positive work environment. Although its definitely dependent on what organization/division you land in. The ability to move inside of the company once you're admitted is good.

Cons

The new near elimination of work-from-home/remote policies seem to be one of the biggest mistakes Robert Ford has made, on top of other misadvised moves. Additionally, many DEI moves are lip service only, and certain areas still maintain a very toxic work environment. Upper management is predominantly white and male. There is a certain amount of suppression of upwards criticism that goes on, and the employee networks have been censored to some extent. Lots of issues with IT and disparate systems.

Tone-deaf, poor leadership

Pros

Large company with a known name.

Cons

Leadership is forcing everyone back in the office for mandatory 5-day work week, no exceptions. Tone deaf and refuses to listen to employees needs - will claim that they're a "people first" company, but actions speak louder than words. Expects employees here everyday, meanwhile leadership comes in 1-3 days a week and then works remotely. Very do as I say, not as I do. Every process here is either non-existent or a complete cluster. It takes forever to get to a decision, extremely slow-moving, prioritizes gross margin and revenue over everything, so most projects to support current product lines can dismissed before they even begin, and anything with even a little risk is immediately deprioritized.
