I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I submitted an application sometime in August 2013, and was caught by surprise when I got a call in February 2014 asking if I was still interested in the position. I said yes, and from there the communication was very timely. I was sent an e-mail to set up interview times, and the recruiter was very accommodating with the schedule. They sent maps and detailed information, and I went in for the interview. I met with the whole team, including a conference call attendee from another office. Everybody was really nice and positive. They asked relevant questions and didn't hold back from asking some challenging ones, but they also didn't ask pointlessly tricky or confrontational questions. I felt like I was being honestly evaluated for my fit with the team and my knowledge of the work.

Question 1
Tell me how you handled a situation where somebody on your team was not doing their share of work. (Follow up: Do you think that was the best way to handle it, and why?)
I applied online. I interviewed at Amgen (Vancouver, BC) in Jun 2026
Interview
Virtual interview process, standard behavioural questions and some technical questions. Technical questions were more focused on skills & software I have previously used for data analysis. Everything else was pretty standard and straightforward.
Submitted my application in September, didn't receive an interview invitation until January. Got my offer in early February. The interview process was very quick and efficient. Three interviews total, with the final interview being a panel.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA)
Interview
Did not hear back for several weeks after each round, inconvenient in terms of communication. Needed to follow up, after each round. Both behavioral interviews, first round was 1:1, second round was with 2 senior managers on the team. Overall, kind people!
