Amgen reviews

The salaries appear to be lower when comparing to similar roles at other companies. The bonus and stock program used to make up for some of this but have reduced over the past few years and normalizing to target, which is 20% for Directors and 30% for Senior Directors. Merit increases are minimal and not on par with cost of living increases. Some years Director and above and other years Senior Directors and above have not gotten merit increase. There are limited career development paths including lateral movement especially for staff that are 45+ and have been there more than 12 years. The company has moved from being a nice biotech culture to a big pharma culture with more focus on the bottom line versus focus on people, science, and the products.

Terrible work life balance to the point health is affected and managers do not care. Arrogant and inexperienced managers. Lack of employee recognition. Managers take credit of employee ideas/work. The so called "values" are just a joke. Limited opportunities given to follow career development path
