Why is Amgen IC so bad?

[anonymous]

Name one

Novartis 10% match like us. But over 45 is 12%, over 50 is 14% and over 55 is 16%. Plus even reps get decent amount of RSU. And they pretty much all have higher salaries than us in cardio.

Not sure why everyone is complaining. IC is a mystery at Amgen. Just do your job and at the end of each quarter we get a mystery "bonus". It's just a mystery figure. No one, including the IC leads knows how it is calculated. By no means is it an incentive in that it drives behavior.

Just go through the motions and about every 90 days we get a paltry check.

If Amgen wanted reps to hustle, they would fix IC. But they don't. They want us to be quiet.

If you want incentivizing performance bonus, go to Gilead or Abbvie or any CAR-T outfit.

We do bonus. Not incentive.

That isn't true. Many places pay and pay big for performance. We just bought Horizon- those reps hustle and sell and make huge dollars for it. They make more in bonus than most of us are making in base.

Completely true. I don't know if they will allow current Amgen reps to interview for Horizon positions.

Maybe they will maybe they won't. But bottomline the previous poster was suggesting that every rep at Amgen is a lazy POS. Its not true here and definitely not true at other companies. I agree we don't compensate in such a way that people want to bust ass- but some people are like me and take pride in what we do regardless if my bonus shows it. I stay at Amgen for numerous reasons being the highest paid rep in pharma obviously isn't one of them. But we still get paid well compared to other industries.

We can't we get anything right? We can't launch products. We can't hold market share. Our KAMs are the worst too. I work hard everyday but my DM doesn't do anything

I just wish I didn't have a baselines for Accredo and Publix while not getting any sales credit for either.

Senior Management always seems to be "working on it"
