Pros

Commitment to being patient-centric, the development of great, innovative products, and highly valued flexible work arrangements.

Cons

A primary concern is the prevalence of transactional managers over inspirational leaders, compounded by an acute shortage of staff handling an excessive workload, a culture of favoritism, and a marked lack of respect for Amgen's internal experience compared to external hires. These issues collectively eradicate any semblance of work-life balance, and paradoxically, the company often celebrates impressive double-digit growth while simultaneously claiming that financial complexities prevent better compensation for its employees.
