Pros

Some of the brightest people in the scientific community work for Amgen. You will have to work hard to finding a better compensation package. It is exceptional.

Cons

The number of actual Amgen employees is diminishing with emphasis on outsourcing almost everything. Many of the best scientists have left over the last few years. Management came up with the brilliant idea of closing the Seattle site to save money. They apparently thought that people would move from Seattle to San Francisco or Boston. Brilliant move.

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.
