    If you have a minute while you're working thru lunch in the "office of the future," look at other company threads on cafepharma. Nothing's perfect; but, in comparison the Amgen culture appears subpar.

    Hence the stagnant rotting swamp of leftovers who would never make it elsewhere without being caught out year 1 for incompetence.

    Look at the thread about Jay Chiang in Enbrel. He would have never been an executive director if McKinsey didn’t teach him how to ass kiss so well. He is getting these check the box experiences while having no experience or leadership skills.

    Look at any thread about Amgen, the company blows big time. Soon to be merged with someone is my guess.

    The culture at Amgen sucks because the leadership is solely focused on revenue and cost cutting. Employees are undervalued and no creative ideas for long term growth. The leadership thinks they can cost cut their way into survival in this industry. Science and serving patients are just empty slogans now.

    When you hire guys like Jay P Chiang, you are doomed.

    What’s the story with their sales force being made up of half contract employees and half Amgen employees? How does that dynamic work without any resentment, given they both do the same jobs but (I assume) the contract reps make less money?

    Simply the worst possible working situation you could put us ALL in, it is PURE misery.

    its a company located in the middle of nowhere stuck in the 90s ..... good talent leaves with or without another job to go to.

    Managers get elevated to their positions based on personal relationships regardless of experience. So many managers have less experience than the talent they manage. No wonder Repatha hasn’t met its numbers. Aimovig launched with so little buzz that Teva and Lilly are chomping at the bit to go after the business. We get paid well though, so kiss your boss’ ass and hope that not lay offs are incoming

    Getting promoted = the gang that goes to the strip clubs after the meetings are over

    What’s with all the rah-rah group chats? Managers getting upset when reps don’t participate in the group chat lovefest. Some of us just want to work. And what’s with the copious amounts of extra trackers to fill out?

    What about team calls? Our district has extended calls to run an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half, depending on how many questions everyone is forced to answer. Hooray culture

    What about a few managers texting at night and on the weekend through group chats? It's totally disrespectful and they are not thinking some may be in bed. Talk about selfish. These group texts about silly things need to end. Trackers, metrics, number of calls per day, poor raises, poor bonuses, primary care management mentality...all make for a poor culture.
