Pros

- coworkers the best - good benefits, average pay

Cons

- terrible process for promoting, be prepared to spend 5-7 years in your role or asked to take on expa ded role without additional pay - recently people who were promoted could not be farther from perpetuating Amgen values, makes a person wonder how important values and behaviors really are - slow and tedious process for decision making prevents company from making much needed improvements

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.
