I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
It was a good experience overall but basically it consisted of a first round interview on site and there were two people interviewing. They asked behavioral type questions related to your resume and pay attention to details. Aside from this there were also questions about background and past work experience. They take you through the site.

On campus interview with two alumni. Non technical interview with largely behavioral questions and questions regarding my projects and experience - prepare for a classic behavioral interview and not a technical leetcode style interview. This is the only interview in the process. This was for software engineering internship within the IS department.

Interview
I had an on-campus interview with a group of employees who graduated from my school. Neither were HR people, they both worked in different functions around Amgen. They seemed to want to keep the interview short and asked very generic questions. Maybe because they were not experienced interviewers, they did not give off a friendly vibe. At the end, I asked for their email and they didn't give it out but I still got the internship. Also, be warned! They drug test through Quest Diagnostics!
