Amgen reviews

Not promoting all people who deserve it. Low transparency of senior management. And did I mention layoffs? Actually, there have been three of them: 2007, 2011, and 2014-15 (still in progress). It is a terribly stressing situation, waiting to see if the axe is going to fall; whoever works there right now shouldn't be envied - at least not that much. Again, recommended only if you want to add Amgen experience in your resume, not if you plan to stay there for a long time.

Lost innovative spirit due to CEOs desire for Wall street gains. Poor insight. Financially unsteady. Likely to split or get bought out in 2 years. Rigid glass ceiling. Old paradigms of thought that are oddly unbalanced with an arrogance of belief in historical reputation and complacency. All the good people are gone or leaving. If you are a physician and want to be treated like a grad student or intern, this is the place for you. If you like fulfilling tasks and checklists without thinking, this is the place for you. If you are innovative and creative, bottle up your mind and stop thinking if you want to work here. This company is all about processes and talking with little action. It takes 18-36 months to make a decision - a poor sign of current leadership and management and a reflection of Amgen's expected demise. It does not move or think fast enough for the highly intelligent. If you simply want to work like a dog at your supervisor's beck and call and expectations, by all means feel free to apply.
