I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in Jul 2018
Interview
Good, standard interview process. Nothing unique compared to other reviews. Consisted of HR phone screen (30min), Hiring Manager phone interview (30min), and 1 half-day on-site interview with various team members.
It is a 3 stage interview process. The first is with the recruiter, the second is with the hiring manager, and the last is someone from the team. There were mainly a lot of behavioral questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What interests you most about the role and what interests you the least about the role?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amgen in Feb 2025
Interview
I received an automated email from Gene, the AI Recruitment assistant. I scheduled the Recruiter call, using Calendly, which was only a 30-minute call. The recruiter called me on time, and only asked 4 questions.
Standard HR screen, then 30min HR interview, then 30 min interview with 3 other team members. There were about 1-2 weeks between stages. Most communication was thru email and text message.
However, after the final interviews I was never contacted again even though my online applicator was still active. I tried emailing and calling my HR contact. No email response and the phone number was always busy. It was a very good experience up until not getting any closure. I found it very off-putting to be ghosted after final interviews.
