Pros

Commitment to being patient-centric, the development of great, innovative products, and highly valued flexible work arrangements.

Cons

A primary concern is the prevalence of transactional managers over inspirational leaders, compounded by an acute shortage of staff handling an excessive workload, a culture of favoritism, and a marked lack of respect for Amgen's internal experience compared to external hires. These issues collectively eradicate any semblance of work-life balance, and paradoxically, the company often celebrates impressive double-digit growth while simultaneously claiming that financial complexities prevent better compensation for its employees.

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.
