Pros

5 weeks off a year, 10% match in 401K, reasonable salary, good bonuses. Amgen pays for bus passes and supports flex time and telecommuting.

Cons

Company does not reward productivity. Management never lets the truth get in the way of a "good story". Many of the midlevel managers have been there a long time and are not open to better ideas and are not willing to take risk.

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.
