Pros

Work-Life balance is very good. They offer many on campus services like car wash, car rentals, several cafeterias, daycare, and a top notch gym.

Cons

Poor Senior Leadership is sinking this company. Too many unqualified manager/directors. Middle management is bloated to say the least.

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.

Pros

Good pay, benefits and 401k

Cons

No career development or career advancememt opportunities, staff are undervalued and utilized. Sr. Leadership has no leadership vision or strategy. No promotions for high performing staff. Management makes horrible decisions and does not listen to staff that have experience. Amgen states they have values but I do not see this is anyones work or interactions. There iw no autonomy and a lot of micromanaging.
