Toxic management overshadows everything good about this company - Information Security Analyst Amgen Employee Review

Great people, great culture, great management. Everyone is so friendly and ready to help you. Lots of cool amenities like a gym on campus, cafeteria, and company socials.

No cons. Everything is great so far.

*some groups still offer a hybrid schedule *you will learn a lot about industry *teams you work with are incredible

There is little to zero growth here. Management has prioritized hiring 10+ contractors for L3/L4 positions rather than full time employees. Some teams have collapsed and are now scrambling to stay afloat after many contractors left. Even with a strong business need to open more full time positions, management places the burden of leading full projects to their CWs. The full time employees here are completely overworked. There is poor project allocation within the teams. The 3rd party contracting agencies also take an additional chunk of your pay on top of what Amgen already pays the agency. You get paid significantly less than industry standard and still don’t get benefits. Amgen has their own internal contracting agency that doesn’t do this. However, you had to be referred by an FTE. I never understood why Amgen went with third party companies.
