Pros

Amgen has excellent benefits. Provided excellent medical benefits and even paid for my undergrad degree. The pace is fast and exciting. Be ready to work hard and be compensated well.

Cons

Even though I worked there for 14 years, I never really felt appreciated for my dedication and hard work. When Kevin Shear became our CEO we became numbers instead of names. It was a hugh culture shock. Unfortunately, upper management doesn't seem to recognize when departmental managers are only looking out for themselves. It hurts moral and decreases productivity.

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.
