Working at Amgen

At Amgen, every product is filled with the power to change lives. Amgen Operations is attuned to the tiniest details – using cutting edge science to monitor, test and confirm quality and compliance at every step, as nothing is bigger than our Mission to serve patients. Learn more about our passion and process.

We create an inspiring work environment that empowers our talent to thrive.

There's always an opportunity.

There's always the next thing that I can push towards.

We are guided by this mission to serve patients, and it's almost like the oxygen that we breathe serving patients is at the heart of every single thing that we do.

To have over 25000 people coming to work every day and thinking about nothing but that patient at the end of the journey, to me is something really special.

It gives you the sense of purpose that you're really doing something that is worth it.

I feel proud working at Hampton so many years.

I never get bored.

Anything is possible when I wake up every day.

I think that what we are doing really matters.

Amgen recognizes that you have talents and this is a chance to work on really new and innovative projects all the time.

It still feels very pioneering.

We we've been around for over 40 years, right?

But there's still this essence of kind of an entrepreneurial spirit.

I believe in our global footprint because it makes us stronger.

Diversity, inclusion and belonging.

It's it's not just a business priority.

We all have a role to play in promoting a culture that celebrates diversity and makes inclusion really the norm.

Our greatest asset is our people.

They feel that what they do is critical to the success of the company.

We have amazing talent and the opportunity to work with great people.

It's so cool to be here in a place where that's true.

Our values, our social architecture actually helps to pull that together too.

So we all know of the environment that we're trying to work in and the and what we're trying to create here.

I think Amgen's creativity and the mindset of coming to work every day to invent something new that delivers a medicine to a patient, I mean, to me, that's just the perfect union.

The innovation that we're bringing can bring benefits to patients measured in months and weeks and days.

So that's why we need to accelerate and we need to challenge ourselves.

We need to say, is this the best that we can do because patients are waiting for us.

Our Mission

To Serve Patients

Our Values

  • BE SCIENCE-BASED

    Our success depends on superior scientific innovation, integrity and continuous improvement in all aspects of our business through the application of the scientific method. We see the scientific method as a multi-step process that includes designing the right experiment, collecting and analysing data and rational decision making. It is not subjective or emotional, but rather a logical, open and rational process. Applying the scientific method in all parts of the organisation is expected and highly valued.

  • COMPETE INTENSELY AND WIN

    We compete against time, past performance and industry rivals to rapidly achieve high quality results. Winning requires taking risks. We cannot be lulled into complacency by previous achievements. Though we compete intensely, we maintain high ethical standards and demand integrity in our dealings with competitors, customers, partners and each other.

  • CREATE VALUE FOR PATIENTS, STAFF AND STOCKHOLDERS

    We provide value by focusing on the needs of patients. Amgen creates a work environment that provides opportunities for staff members to reach their full potential. We strive to provide shareholders with superior long-term returns while balancing the needs of our employees, patients and communities we serve.

  • BE ETHICAL

    We are relentless in applying the highest ethical standards to our products, services and communications.

  • TRUST AND RESPECT EACH OTHER

    Every job and every employee at Amgen is important. We attract diverse, capable and committed people and provide an environment that values diversity and fosters inclusion, respect and individual responsibility. Trust is strengthened through personal initiative and by obtaining quality results rapidly.

  • ENSURE QUALITY

    Quality is a cornerstone of all of our activities. We seek the highest quality information, decisions and people. We produce high quality products and services. Quality is woven into the fabric of everything we do.

  • WORK IN TEAMS

    Our teams work quickly to move scientific breakthroughs from the lab through the clinic to the marketplace and to support other aspects of our business. Diverse teams working together generate the best decisions for patients, staff and stockholders. Our team structure provides opportunities for Amgen staff to impact the direction of the organization, to gain broader perspective about other functions within Amgen and to reach their full potential.

  • COLLABORATE, COMMUNICATE AND BE ACCOUNTABLE

    Leaders at Amgen seek input and involve key stakeholders in important decisions. In gathering input, strong leaders will welcome diverse opinions, conflicting views and open dialogue for serious consideration. They will clearly communicate decisions and rationale openly and in a timely manner. Once a decision is made, the leader and members of the team will all be accountable for the results and for implementing the decision rapidly.
