Pros

Flexible work environment Very highly educated people - are large percentage has either a PHD or a Masters and come from the best universities of US 2 week shutdown - summer and winter almost 2 month in holidays, vacations and shutdown Great Benefits Relaxed work environment - business casual dress code

Cons

Technical role with more business management than programming Baby sitting contactors Your skills become rusty Difficult to get into top Tech firms such as Google and Microsoft because their environment is highly technical, challeging which Amgen lacks 9000 dollars in yearly education which got reduced recently due to budget cuts you never know when you will get fired. Lot of waste of money in cancelled projects halfway through. Difficult to advance once you become a Sr. Manager

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.
