The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amgen in Feb 2009
Interview
Applied online, got contacted through email by the scientist in regards to an phone interview. There were two interviewers, both were very nice. The interview took about 30 minutes, the first ten munites was them asking questions about my resume, stuff that I noticed on my job--not very technical questions. Asked me what in my lab would describe me as, when I find time to do my research, what a typical day in my lab is like. They then told me that they would gauge my interest in Amgen and that position through the questions that I would ask them.
The position got canceled because there was not enough funds to continue that internship position.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
What was one thing you learned and observed from spending time in lab?
First had a 1:1 with the team lead, where we talked basics and discussed the role. It was mostly to make sure I understand the terms of the role (contracted). Then moved onto the second round immediately and it was a large group interview. Most questions were fair but one extremely higher up person kept asking scientific questions irrelevant to the role and making comments about my experience that clearly showed he did not read my resume.
It was an initial phone screening, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. The interviewer did not ask a lot of questions about my resume but instead asked technical questions.

Interview
HR interview first round screening does not truely assess interviewee's potential. Interviewer asked technical questions in which answers given was apparently too technical for interviewer to understand. Interview felt very rushed and as an interviewee, I couldn't get much out of it.
