Pros

Amgen has excellent compensation and excellent benefits, a strong budget for each department which equates to cutting edge technologies, first class facilities, and highly educated employees.

Cons

It is very easy to get pigeon-holed into doing one thing at Amgen and no one gets to have ownership over anything because every project is shared. It seemed like there was a lot of competition between sites instead of collaboration. As with any large company, there is a little bit of complacency.

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.
