Pros

its a good company with a strong name. good benefits. opportunities for growth and advancement possibly

Cons

everything else. terrible management. understaffed in pretty much all departments. management seems to continue pushing forward with clinical manufacturing despite widespread problems. this site clearly hires women at a much higher rate than men. no one seems to know what they're doing or seems to care much. manufacturing senior managers seem completely inadequate and disillusioned. awful work life balance. many people working 10-15 days in a row due to shortages.

Cons

Everything! The leadership is absolutely toxic in the RDBU. People are being forced out and let go for no reason, silly things, or things that everyone is doing but some people are targeted while others skate by. Management is female and extremely toxic, it’s as if we are being lead by the mean girls club who are trying to prove themselves but they too should have been let go a long time ago. Retaliation is the norm as is management through fear. Disease state is being run like primary care with the implementation of metrics over results, and the newest addition of overlay reps is just an a last ditch attempt to save face before competition. Amgen has ruined this once amazing team.
