Sanofi and Amgen : Both companies have same portfolio and almost similar policies but Amgen has better pipeline.

Don't compare them with Novartis.

Key deciding factors, which one to join:
1. Who is paying more
2. Where are you getting good role and position
3. Sanofi GCC is already established since last 2 years, Amgen has just started. So, do you want to buy under construction house or ready to move in, its personal choice
4. Sanofi being a French company, most of the calls with business.....

.....can be in the afternoons or early evening. But with Amgen, you may have to attend evening and late evening calls too, but that will depend on your direct manager and Sr manager.

5. For now Amgen is calling 5 days WFO that will probably ease down in future, as the management want people to interact with each other in the starting phase. Sanofi is moving from 2 days WFO policy to 3 days WFO policy. May get stricter in future.

6. Sanofi's work life balance is heard to be good and we'll managed. Not much work pressure. Where as no such data is present about Amgen as of now, its too early to say anything. But in US Amgen is said to be very cool and employee friendly.

7. Based on my online research and what I heard from my connections, Amgen always uses cutting edge technologies, whereas Sanofi is little slow in adapting new technologies and platforms.

8. Career growth is going to be almost same in both the companies. However, I feel as Amgen is just starting it's GCC, so it's going to be little better than Sanofi.

9. Sanofi has 20% variable at M level and above. Amgen has 15% variable at M and SM level. Below M it's 10% and above SM level it goes 17 and 20%. Means, base salary will be more at Amgen. Which is good from EPF contribution perspective as well as when you switch job in future, you will get hike on a higher base salary.

All the best guys!
May you all get what you deserve 😊

I joined Sanofi during its early growth phase and have been part of the journey as the GCC expanded. Now things are quite stable, and honestly the work culture, work-life balance, flexibility, and overall environment have been great for me.

Recently, I interviewed for an opportunity at Amgen because with 7.5 years of experience, I feel ready for a more senior role and better compensation.

However, after reading mixed reviews about Amgen Hyderabad, especially regarding management and work-life balance, I’m unsure whether the switch would actually be worth it in the long run.

For someone already in a stable and valued position at Sanofi, would moving to Amgen be a good career decision? Would genuinely appreciate honest insights
