Varied work experience but high demands and low pay - Anonymous employee Amgen Employee Review

My team is very welcoming. My manager encouraged me to develop my own project and supported me by connecting me with colleagues and made sure I have access to the resources in time.

No cons, would love to stay longer.

*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.
