Amgen

Over the last few years Amgen has gone through many changes. We have enjoyed a growth trajectory that few companies ever get to experience, as well as challenges that tested us in the extreme. Through it all — the ups and the downs — we remained true to the beliefs and behaviors that have been bedrock at Amgen for years. They guided us well and drove our success and will continue to be the key to our success going forward.

These bedrock beliefs and behaviors, our social architecture as we call it, make up the core culture of Amgen — our mission, strategy, aspiration, values and leadership attributes. We defined them right here at Amgen. They reflect our true essence. 
Our mission is to serve patients. We aspire to be the best human therapeutics company — using science and innovation to dramatically improve people’s lives.

The Amgen values are the foundation for our behavior, attitudes and goals. We have a set of leadership attributes that describe in detail what we expect from Amgen leaders and hold us all accountable for charting the course, delivering results consistent with our values, developing the best teams and serving as role models. Our values, along with these leadership attributes, form the basis of a deeply held belief system that guides our behavior, helps us make decisions and builds the framework for our daily interactions with each other.

Our strategy is built around achieving our mission and aspiration and preserving our special culture. Our mission, strategy, aspiration, values and leadership attributes are what define us. Learn them and live them, and each of us can help keep what is special about Amgen alive and keep us on the path to continued success.
