Pros

- Interesting problems to solve - Smart, dedicates team in pockets

Cons

- Focus on squeezing pennies out of an archaic business model with a cost reduction focus - Good old boys club. If you don't have a senior executive advocate, be prepared to start and end your career at Amgen in a similar capacity - Below market compensation

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.
