Pros

Amgen used to be a great company to work for, It's still good for young college grats.

Cons

recent years the Amgen culture is turning very negative. Many great benefits are now gone. Amgen is notoriously discriminate against older employees that are older than 50+. They are quietly try to give them very difficult time and don't matter how good they are doing their jobs. Amgen allowed supervisors to nitpicking and find ways make lives difficult for these old employees and give them very bad reviews. They are always on the look for ways to weed or forcing out older employees. I am not surprise to see a class action lawsuit against Amgen HR practice in the future. As a former employees for over 30 years I have seen it all.

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.
