Pros

Decent pay, decent benefits, good bonuses, nice co-workers, remote work options, good severance package

Cons

I enjoyed working at Amgen until it became clear that promotions could not be gained without sacrificing one’s personal life and that requirements for promotions were very different for positions within the same department. Positions are being sent to India without any regard for experience, performance, or tenure. The decision is being framed as “increasing the global footprint” but we all know it’s about workers in India working for a fraction of the pay of US and EU workers. Frustrating and insulting to have this move framed as anything but cost savings since the workers in the US and EU are also well-qualified, and the time zone difference only introduces challenges.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
