"Great company. Management changes too often. The base salary is a bit low, but the benefits are the best."

"In my career spanning over 25 years, Amgen is by far the best company I've worked for. The environment is collaborative, supportive and encouraging. Ample opportunity to refine and improve skills, as well as seek career growth."

"I've worked with Amgen since 2009. It's been a fantastic place to work -- generous with bonuses, but can be a bit stingy on salary increases -- however, total package often makes up for that. The work-life balance is great, fantastic daycare on campus, lots of smart co-workers."

"I worked for Amgen total of 5 years."

"I was a Graduate Intern at Amgen in the Summer of 2014. I wholeheartedly recommend Amgen's Graduate Intern program to any students who are interested. Interns are given real work, not busywork. We are challenged and expected to be professionals, and we are treated with the same respect as full-time employees. All of the managers I met are respectful, supportive leaders who clearly go above and beyond to help employees accomplish their goals."

"Excellent company wtih better benefits than most of the other companies."

"It was a 6 month contract. Pretty straightforward environment."

"It is good place to work. But sometimes management is not the best you can ask for. They are not aware of the technologies or skills required to deliver an IS project. But good place where you can keep balance between your work and personal life."

"Amgen is a good company going through a major restructuring after an amazing growth period. Thus, any comments will likely not apply in the near future."

"I love this place. The company has unbelievable resources to get the job done right, as well as group of people willing to do the very best that they can. I have had the joy of working with people that are very focused at doing the best that they can do, and I am happy working here. It is very competitive, and the work load can be taxing, but in the end you will know that you are working on something important and you made a difference."

"Great place to work, no complaints."

"I had a very good experience working in Amgen."

"I've worked for Amgen for about 3 yrs. Products are top notch and solid pipeline. The company has great benefits and salary. But management is probably one of the worst in the industry."

"Great environment to work."

"Amgen is a family company. You will be treated like family and they will stick by you when you get the job done. They have a strong value and stick to their ideas. The best part is that you not only learn about the company, but about the workers themselves. It's not about the money. It's about the people and Amgen does that the best way possible."
