Pros

Amgen is a young company with a strong pipeline. It wants to be more innovative. One of the last true biotechs out there.

Cons

There really is no ethnic diversity here at Amgen. Efforts to change and build a sustainable pipeline of diversity is limited if at all. In general, succession planning is ambiguous at best. It is difficult to understand the appropriate path to senior management positions past a Sr. Manager. To that point, there are several qualified and over qualified employees that are frustrated on this point.

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.
