      Senior Research Scientist II Interview

      Mar 5, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Cambridge, MA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Amgen (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2009

      Interview

      My job was in therapeutic area. I knew the hiring manager from graduate school. He was collaborating with my phd advisor. He knew that I was looking for a job, and I spoke with him. It all seemed good. I was invited to give a talk. Then a second interview with more people. Then an offer was extended quickly.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      not that I remember. It went smoothly. But a senior person asked me if I 'd prefer to be in technology or in biology of disease.

      Senior Research Scientist II Interview

      May 18, 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Thousand Oaks, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      I have interviewed for 4 positions already but no offer, I have developed a sense that Amgen Hiring managers/managers just can not recognize talent, or are threatened by one, and that is why overall the company is not developing new drug but rather making the same drug work for different indication.
