Pros

Compensation is good: stock, stock options, good salary, bonus, and 2 weeks paid time off (4th July & Christmas). Nice campus environment, onsite gym, and cafeterias. Good access to resources.

Cons

It can be very hard to get promoted; too top heavy; can be bureaucratic. A lot of constant re-organizations; one year, had 6 bosses. Many senior management hires from outside the company have difficulty adjusting to Amgen culture and giving clear direction & goals, which affects staff.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
