What is the hiring process like at Amgen?

Free Food and erratic cabs facility. Perfectly corrupt culture from hiring till promotions, may be the top ranked corrupt in private sector in Hyderabad

Utmost reliance on YES MAN and SYCOPHANTS culture which is formally published as Amgen Values. Fire people in and out giving reason that above Policy not followed. Already FIRED 10% in ONE YEAR and 15% LEFT by themselves in one year. Negative Job security, you can be fired at a back date itself. HR simply says that package was wrong in offer letter and overall remuneration is decreased as per company policy. If you have option PLEASE DO NOT JOIN, in case you don’t then FIND other option. You will become part of hell and will not be able to leave because of 3 months notice period. Your career will become OUTDATED by a decade in case you work here for a year.

Interview process was very smooth and package was very attractive too.

i joined recently...so no cons so far.

The role is good and promising for growth

The interview process takes ample of time

Not that I can recommend

Highly unstructured HR process in this company.They will call you for the interview from different city and promise to refund the interview travel expenses.Post this you keep following up with HRs to get your refund.Even a startup company may have a better candidate experience than Amgen.Avoid this company if you can or have other offers

Friendly and Supportive environment, very caring about well being

Promotion structure, difficult to achieve and have to go through full interview process again and takes a long time from start to finish

Free food and beverages are provided.

Mandating employees to work from the office every day while also attending evening meetings has drastically cut down the time available for personal and family life. The extended hours spent commuting and in the office have taken a toll on employee well-being. Many organizations today prioritize flexibility and focus on employee health, but the current policies at Amgen India do not reflect these values. This approach has effectively turned into a two-shift work model—one during office hours and another for evening commitments—leading to adverse effects on employee health and, over time, their productivity. Even though employees have voiced their concerns, the organization has tightened its stance on daily office attendance. This stricter enforcement has been implemented verbally without any formal policy communicated through email. Additionally, recruiters fail to disclose this practice during the hiring process, leaving potential employees unaware of the situation.

Good benefits and compensation, depending on the study good W/L balance that the company is pushing for

When remote difficulty to feel engage overall. Most of inside opportunities are on interview process.

Best pro of the company is Free Food

Bad Managers, Toxic Leadership has ruined the culture. Hiring is equivalent to handful of people on top and their favourites/network

Compensation looks strong on paper, particularly for hourly roles Solid benefits package, with a notable 401(k) match Teams include some highly driven, passionate individuals Possible career advancement and growth opportunities for those who can stick it out

Chronic understaffing leads to excessive workloads, with additional support brought in far too late or sometimes not at all Hiring decisions tend to prioritize transfers from other locations rather than promoting talent within the site Compensation does not reflect the level of responsibility, with salaried employees often putting in unpaid overtime Overtime is required just to meet basic expectations, resulting in poor work–life balance; even approved time off is often interrupted by last-minute work demands Schedules, decisions, and key site information are poorly communicated, leaving employees feeling out of the loop

Amgen offers an excellent work environment with a smooth onboarding process, employee-friendly policies, and a collaborative culture. With supportive managers, ample learning opportunities, and great food, it’s a fantastic place to grow and thrive.

Occasionally, work hours can extend, but the company/manager is supportive in ensuring employees maintain work-life balance overall.
