      How to Answer

      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?

      2nd Answer Example

      "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."
