Benefits overshadowed by toxic work culture and high expectations - Manager Amgen Employee Review

great science, team dynamic, and salary

things move kind of slowly

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

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.
