Pros

Great benefits, stock, health/dental/vision with a big Amgen contribution, TO gym, fantastic eateries on site. Annual bonuses. Intellectually stimulating. Very bright people who are dedicated to their job.

Cons

High stress, overworked departments, many senior managers/directors are promoted and have had no training to manage staff. Staff morale is at all time low. Offshore Outsourcing while Amgen jobs are being eliminated. Outsourced work is poor quality and requires rework over and over. Senior and Executive Managment are not involved with middle management. They are triple booked in meetings everyday, all day and have lost connection within their own departments.

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.
