Pros

The benefits and compensation packages are good. If you dont mind selling your soul for your company this is the right place for you!

Cons

Management is horrible. Work life balance is non-existent. Not quickly promoted if you are female or over age 40. They seem to be hiring a lot of "former military" folks in upper mangmnt, which is fine but does not mesh well with the culture of the former Amgen staff (I have been there 12 years). People are treated differently in the military than in civilian life and they don't make the distinction. Lots of creepy stuff going on - the rules do not apply the same to all staff members.

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.
