Pros

1.Office environment look wise 2.Food - Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Dinner 3. Cab Facility home pickup/drop

Cons

The Indian leadership, particularly the CDT team, has shifted the company’s focus from a product-based model to a service-based one. After the U.S. team handed over recruitment responsibilities to Indian management (primarily North Indian), local candidates are no longer being selected. The organization suffers from excessive micromanagement by North Indian managers. There is evident favoritism toward Hindi-speaking employees, with undue backing provided to certain candidates (especially at Level-5). During escalations from the U.S. team, instead of offering support, the Indian management tends to undermine and backstab colleagues. No shift allowances for those who are working in EST business time

Pros

Because of the pandemic, Amgen did improve on empowering their employees to prioritize their wellbeing. Campus is beautiful and nice benefits.

Cons

Very demanding, which in my opinion may illicit a competitive nature amongst staff, which I didn't care for. Pretty difficult to move up compared to other organizations I've worked at. Diversity and inclusion is a bit lacking - in 2020, there was a lot more access to DEI material but it didn't last.
