Pros

Good benefits package, lots of vacation time.

Cons

Incompetent senior management who worry only about stock price and profits (yet the stock price hasn't changed in years). Amgen grew too fast and didn't build a strong infrastructure to support a big company. Layoffs. Everything moves too slow here and it takes years to finish a project that other companies could do in months. Too many changes that don't have any real benefit. There is no discipline in this company and everyone is treated with "kid gloves" to prevent from hurting anyone's feelings.

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.
