I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amgen (Thousand Oaks, CA)
Interview
short phone call with an engineer that works on the team, barely asked me any questions. It's a contract position so it seemed like they really only cared that you were aware of no PTO/benefits. Got invited to second interview but had to cancel due to family emergency.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between verification and validation
Phone call, interview with the manager and then two panel interviews. I feel like this is extremely unnecessary but they do want to find the right person for the job
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amgen (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2025
Interview
Phone Screening and Onsite interview - was very quick from start to finish and good communication with hiring managers from start to finish. Overall process about 3 weeks but no offer.
