How do you measure success?
Amgen has over 20,000 employees globally and reported nearly 29 billion in revenue in 2021, so they are a very successful company. Speak about how you define success both personally and professionally. Give examples of success that might relate to the position you're applying for (sales, employee retention, marketing, etc.).
Can you define and measure goals? Are you willing to work hard and push others to do the same? What have you achieved short-term and long-term? How does your drive align with the company? What makes the company you're interviewing with successful in the industry? What sets them apart and how can you support that?
"I define success by my ability to achieve my short-term and long-term goals both personally and professionally. I set milestones for myself and break my goals down into manageable pieces. I also measure success by what I've learned and how achieving my goals has helped me grow and set future goals to really stretch myself."
"I am a naturally competitive person, and so I'm very driven by goals and strive to be a top performer. In my last sales role, I was able to exceed our sales targets by over 25% each quarter. I even won the rookie of the year award! I also measure success by customer satisfaction and take great pride in having good feedback in my 360 reviews."

I measure success by looking at the metrics and goals attained but also at the lessons learned.

You're off to a good start! Think of ways that Amgen might define success or how you defined success in your fellowship. Give specific examples if possible, and focus on how success benefits the organization and patients.
