Pros

Good pay and benefits, however, these had been diminishing over time. Great vacation time benefit if you feel you can take it. One week summer shut-down in summer and winter holiday season are very nice.

Cons

Expectations are almost impossible for some. Some top executives do not treat those below them with respect. Amgen used to tout a list of values but those are not mentioned anymore and don't seem to be applied to top executives.

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.
