I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amgen (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
First round interview from a non-target school was via Skype. The interviewer was very friendly, and the questions were all behavioral. I was asked about my leadership experience and items on my resume. It was nothing out of the usual, things like "Tell me about yourself", "Time you dealt with conflict", etc. I got the sense though that candidates from non-target schools faced more competition and were less likely to move on to the second round (probably because they will fly you to the main campus if you do).
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in Apr 2023
Interview
You apply and then start networking with people that work at the company. After you apply, you wait to get an interview. There are two interviews that take place. The second interview is where they try to get to know you better and ask simple finance questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amgen in Jan 2023
Interview
I met with two managers from the corporate finance department for a phone interview and the interview went over an hour with me talking the vast majority of the time.
