Good pay. Good benefits. Nice and safe city. Intelligent people all around.Company's mission is motivating (to serve patients). Cafeteria food is great. Nice gym. Laundry service on site (among others).
Cons
Poor career development. Poor management. Poor HR organization. Messy, no structure and process in place. Unfair treatment to employees depending how many people you know, and who you know. Promotions and movements not transparent, often given to those who have good connections. Not merit-based. Performance review cycle send lots of people into therapy because they like to put you down until you have no self-esteem left. No positive reinforcement.
Advice to Senior Management
Lisen to your employees. Do something about the Global Climate Survey results. Yes, Amgen has poor decision making - what have we done about it at all? Get rid of poor managers, please. Be science based, be budget conscious, ACT LIKE A BUSINESS!!!
