      Pros

      Benefits are decent but middle of the road compared to competitors. Lots of employees are proud to have been at Amgen 10-15-20 years.

      Cons

      They check the boxes on DE&I with training and lip service. I looked around at my department meeting. What did I see: Zero black employees. All people leaders are men. Having so many long timers makes teams clique-ish. Ideas and creativity are stifled by the attitude that this is how Amgen does it. There’s a haughtiness and condescension from some Amgen veterans when dealing with new employees. A common description from new employees I meet is there lacks an inclusiveness with new employees. Non-veterans bond over feeling like the “have nots” and how tough it is to fit in. There are so many systems that are overly complicated and often homegrown. The employees from the latest acquisition have asked for help and some are to the point of tears. I am not one of the long timers so I try to offer kudos to new people doing their best.

      Pros

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

      Cons

      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.
