Pros

Nice campus Interesting science and technology

Cons

Very political. Revenue is declining because people like to brag rather than do work. Lots of cost cutting. Leaders are not trained. Compensation is worse than peers.

Disappointment of Amgen

Pros

The small team I had to work with. Benefits & 401k matching.

Cons

Management and lack of it. Day 2 started with people telling me why did I come here and everyday was something else negative until the day I moved on. Management do not care about you here, its the numbers they want. There is little team work here. You can eat better pay somewhere else. I have worked at bigger and smaller companies and Amgen I’m disappointed to say was the worst.

Getting Worse

Pros

New office and lab spaces Low stress environment Average pay but good benefits

Cons

Over the last year something changed. A lot of people (over 6 coworkers) starting leaving which is unsettling because it makes me wonder if I should get out too. When asked about this, management gave a "stop-the-bleeding" PR response. "Amgen is so good on resumes that our employees are leveraging it to seek jobs in a growing biotech job market"
