If your boss/department heads are good people, you may love it; if you work for the rest, prepare to hate it - Manager Amgen Employee Review

Pros

Benefits, the good people who are present, and the great campus perks. They can also be quite flexible when they want to be, which is really helpful.

Cons

The venal people who are predominant, competitive culture, hypocrisy. If you work for someone who is winning the internal political fight, watch out. I've never been treated so shabbily in a corporate environment. What's really heartbreaking, confusing, and ultimately dysfunctional is that there is so much that is good and that the hype is first class, so it can take awhile to figure things out. The crash is very hard.

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.
