Pros

Company culture has stood out throughout the years. There are engagement events to remind staff of their mission (e.g., Amgen Mission Week). Accomplishments are celebrated and the senior leadership does a great job communicating company's vision. Work/life balance has also been great for the technical staff. Staff are encouraged to make use of their PTO and Amgen Thousand Oaks has two weeks of site-wide shutdown throughout the year.

Cons

Overall compensation is lower than average compared to Amgen's competitors.

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.
