Pros

Great benefits, good salaries, a "prestige" name in biotech

Cons

Amgen is run like it was taken over by a hedge fund. No corporate culture left whatsoever. They call themselves a "science based company." The products are based on great scientific research but the rest of the company is noticeably lacking in the consideration of science or even intelligence. There is a noticeable dearth of smart people here. They love people with fancy MBA's from elite institutions but they like followers here, innovation is decidedly frowned upon. Sales and marketing have lost almost all connection to any real appreciation of scientific data.Not their fault, senior management has profit as the singular and exclusive goal.

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.
