Describe to me your ideal employer.
A job search isn't just a one-sided hunt. You must also feel as though this is a good fit for yourself. Be sure you to research the company beforehand and tie in any values that you and Amgen share (for example from their website, "work in teams, ensure quality, trust and respect each other, be ethical"). Give an honest answer here and be concise and positive; refrain from speaking poorly of any previous managers or organizations.
"My ideal employer is one that brings revolutionary products to market to increase the quality of life for others. I work best with organizations who have a penchant for learning and also promote their employees based on performance."
"I am looking to join an organization where continuous learning is encouraged. It's important to me as I carve out my career, to learn new skills under an organization that wants me to grow with them."
