      Beware of leadership and elitist culture

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice benefits and time off

      Cons

      Bad leadership, no investment or desire to invest in staff. Bad managers encouraged and no desire to have staff in place that provide real value. It is all about maintaining leadership positions.

      Amgen: A Disappointing Experinec Overall

      Director medical communications
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generous 401K package and holiday shutdowns in the summer and winter. Talented and very smart people. Many folks very long-tenured, reflecting their commitment to stay with the company.

      Cons

      Salaries on the lower side for the industry. Corporate values as stated place shareholder and competitive considerations above patient considerations, despite CEO's emphasis on the latter during speeches. Little opportunity for advancement: managers themselves acknowledge that "professional development" consists of parallel moves across teams. Supportive services such as HR and IT are largely automated or contracted, so responsiveness can be slow.

      Pros

      The salary and benefits in the beginning were amazing. After that things were taken away bits at the time. No more plaques/trophies. Insurance changes. The mantra was no sales person has ever lost their job during layoffs.

      Cons

      Layoffs. All employees are in constant fear that their job will end via layoff or other "methods." 1000's of sales people have now lost their jobs.
