Didn't seem to have a clear direction of where they were going day-to-day or year-to-year - Anonymous employee Amgen Employee Review

Pros

The benefits were OK, nice newer facilities, they did lots of employee feedback gathering

Cons

Frequent layoffs and reorganizations which seemed to be due to planning issues and moving work overseas. At one point they made grand announcements about expanding the site and hiring lots of people, then did a 180 and had several layoffs and are close to inactivating the site now. Not great for career development or even maintaining current skills; I wasn't able to attend any seminars, classes or conferences for my skill set outside of the Amgen site, much less out of town.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
