      Pros

      Business Development: There are a lot of smart, driven and wonderful people here at Amgen, and particularly in BD. There is a culture of collegiality that contributes to a team-first environment in many ways. Amgen has historically been risk-adverse in their deal making, but some would say that has led to more discipline and less downside exposure. Amgen: The Company generally has excellent senior leadership at the CEO-staff level.

      Cons

      This is not a knock on BD per se, but an issue the organization faces more generally. The pay is widely regarded as sub-par for the industry (ask most ex-Amgen employees if you want to confirm this), especially for the quality of employee and work that is done. The inflation adjustment for 2021 was less than half of inflation for top performers which seems to signal that management is ok with employee turnover. Also, the base pay adjustment between an average employee and a high performer won't be reflected in the base salary (although there is a high degree of spread in the bonus and stock grants).

      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.
