Pros

Amgen is a great place to start off with excellent benefits. Great resume building company that emphasizes cross functional training and communication.

Cons

Although it is a great place to start off, there is a definite ceiling at Amgen and you can easily get caught in a rut if you are not actively pursuing personal and professional growth outside of the company. Senior Management has made some bad decisions in the past few years which have cost the company dearly, not only in jobs but more importantly in company morale. Amgen used to be a place that I was proud to work at, however with all the cut backs, and bad press lately this is no longer the case.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
