I applied online. I interviewed at Amgen in Aug 2023
Interview
The first interview with HR was average, with behavioral questions. Two days later, I was moving on to the next phase with the hiring manager. Everything was organized through an application and it was very convenient. So far so fast and well organized. The interview with the hiring manager was free and easy, with technical questions to learn about my experience. However, I never heard back about the process status. I never received any feedback on my application. It's a shame that as well organized as it was, that part failed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What were the differences between UK HTA and the P&R process in my country? (I applied from abroad)
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amgen (Zug) in May 2017
Interview
I was interviewing with Amgen for a HE modeller position. I think it is important that I was searching for a job with a recruiter, so he contacted the company (sent my CV) for me and all the interviews were scheduled through him. The process looked like this:
- time spent between my CV was uploaded and the first contact was made by Amgen: 1-1,5 months
- first interview: 2 days after first contact. on the phone with a senior modeller. basic questions about myself and my experience.
- second interview: 2 weeks after the phone interview. Assessment Center-like, on site: one-on one with HR / lead of modelling team / senior modellers. Then presentation followed by a Q&A about a case study (sent to me 1 week before) where many people attended.

Question 1
- how you dealt with a project that was not planned with enough detail
- how you dealt with a customer or collegue who was rude with you
- tell a situation when you had to take the control of a project from someone above you
- how do you imagine yourself in 10 years time
- why do you want to be a modeller
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amgen (Barcelona) in Apr 2013
Interview
First interview with HR was relatively easy as the field is very specific and hard for them to understand, although they did a good job. Second interview with line manager and third with Director.

Question 1
Average questions about CV, from education to work experience, career expectations, where do you see yourself in 5 years. For the manager and director interview more specific and technical questions, not tricky at all.
