What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Knowing what they are actually asking people to do
Manager actively harassed staff based on disabilities
Leadership. They already don't know how to manage not even talking of any leadership. All they do is brown nose to the upper ups (when not sleeping with them).
Building talent, supporting their team, aligning with each other an driving clarity

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Competitive compensation package hard to be beaten
It's a holistic compensation packaged designed to meet my living expense needs, rewards for performance and giving me the opportunity to share in the company's future growth
401k double match with immediate vest

Fair for the market value
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Low annual raises aren’t competiti
No consistency in payments across the same levels
Actually pay me market value
Base salary significantly below competitors (30%-50%). Stock vesting is very long so you hardly get anything each year. Health plan is lousy. Add to that HQ location is very expensive with no other companies nearby so you are stuck. And they know it which is why the compensation is so bad.
Because I know competitors compensate their staff much more generously (base salary is 10% below and stock compensation 50% below competitors.)
What are some of the best things about your team?
Although we have different responsibilities, we try to support each other in delivering to our functional partners and for the company
Smart and energetic people form diverse backgrounds
Strong and smart people in team
People know their area of work
Everybody is very comfortable and helpful.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Supportive environment that nurtures talent and holds everyone accountable
Review from Marketing Dept

The people and comradery the team fosters
Everyone is working towards a common goal and feels deeply connected to our mission of serving patients.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
It won't change. The apple is rotten to the core and all the top leadership including the BMS crowd needs to go but this won't happen.
Stop being concerned with profits and actually treat people well
Review from Operations Dept
Leadership team needs to be more transparent in their actions and be just as accountable in failure as they are with success
What did you like most about the interview process?
I haven't given the direct interview but bypassed it
Interviewing with the person who is currently my boss. She is an absolute "Rockstar"
Felt real, low pressure, personable.
Interviewer was very transparent and sensible with expectaions.
They were more opened ended discussions versus prescripted intrrview questions
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It's a long process in which you have to interview with too many people. It's stressful and time-consuming.
Meet the actual team members, remove the requirement to give notice to managers when internal candidates are interviewing
What makes you most happy at work?
I learn something new every day and it's amazing!
My family and the pride in what Amgen is achieving for patients with unmet medical needs
Quality of people and relationships
Interacting with the great people
Technologies are very new and incredible
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Leadershio has no clue what they are asking with the insane timelines
Workload is very high - poor worklife balance is the norm.
We need a better working environment
Manager was not as collaborative or communicative as what is needed in my role. Could have been more professional and not as toxic.
