Pros

-adequate vacation time, 2 shutdowns, sick time -attendance at one conference and training per employee/per year -Gorgeous campus with amazing views of the mountains creating a relaxing outdoor lunch hour -NICE gym onsite -Great Team Environment -Values based company -Lots of opportunity to move around the company and "go where you can grow" -The Benefits are TOP notch!

Cons

-Amgen hires the best talent but many of the managers need to be trained extensively on how to lead others or manage people -Company has a "Work from home" or "Telecommuting" benefit that is promoted but clearly not open to all employees. Depending on your management, you may not be permitted to partake in this great option as some frown at those who work remotely even if you produce quality work. It has been said by some that promotional opportunities could be limited should your boss not truly support your desire to work remotely.

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.
