Pros

Pay and Benefits are the only reason people stay.

Cons

No rights for employees unless they are senior leadership. Management allowed to show private information with no rules enforced. Company policy states that showing private information is grounds for termination, this does not apply to certain grade levels.

Pros

Great benefits, if you're in the right group with people who care, you can go places. Great learning potential if you move around the company.

Cons

Work life balance is talked about a lot but does not exist. It matters who you know and if you don't know how to "network" and fake it, then you'll be on the next layoff list.

Amgen morale is low

Pros

Amgen is still a highly competitive place to work and draws the most talented and educated employees. The benefits are still best in its industry and working on the main campus is awesome.

Cons

Amgen used to be a great place to work 7 years ago. Upper management has changed drastically over the years and the numerous changes and layoffs have hurt the Amgen culture. Current strategy is asking staff to do more with less. The has hurt the overall morale of the company.
