I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Was given a phone screen and saw my CV matched their job description. They flew me down to their HQ, 4 hour interview with different team members to director positions. Given an offer 4 weeks later. They try not to give you any indication that you were their favorite candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your greatest weakness? Mostly all behavioral questions, some technical questions related to on job work.
A virtual interview followed by an in-person interview. A person should have atleast 2.5 yrs or more to apply for the position into that specific role. More of a managerial kinda interview with few technical questions specifically related to amgens background.

Managerial question
Question specific to your domain ie working experience and how you standout from others.
Completed the first round HR interview and was invited to choose a date and time through the AI assistant to interview with the Hiring Manager. 30 minutes before the scheduled interview time, I was notified that the hiring manager was no longer available and was provided another list of available dates and times. The day the rescheduled interview was supposed to take place, I was again notified that there was a scheduling conflict. Rescheduled once again, same thing happened again, and I didn't bother to continue. Extremely unprofessional
Quick, questions as to be expected at each stage. No panel interview or presentation. Questions following the usual 'tell me about a time when...' structure. Recruiter was prompt at sharing updates.
