The Power of Amgen Internships
As a global biotechnology leader, Amgen is always looking for upcoming talent who are passionate about making a positive impact. Our internships are designed to hone and sharpen that talent. You’ll learn new skills, gain a better understanding of where you want to take your career, and build a network of likeminded peers and mentors who are committed to your success.
Hear from interns across Amgen on what it’s like to work with the team.
It’s time to thrive.
Investing and Inspiring Your Future
A big part of working in biotechnology requires pursuing solutions to unanswered questions and pushing the boundaries of today’s scientific knowledge. Naturally, it’s not a mission we take lightly.
To support our team members, we’ve built a space where collaboration is the norm. Where all perspectives can thrive. It’s through this space that interns like Carly can feel comfortable to jump in and receive support when tackling new challenges.
“Internships at Amgen are filled with so much encouragement and support! When I first started, I was very intimidated because the staff was very professional and accomplished. However, every single employee I met was incredibly welcoming.”
- Carly, R&D Talent and Culture InternWhether you are an intern or a tenured employee with decades of experience, everything you’ll accomplish at Amgen will be about putting patients first. That’s why Global Regulatory Labeling Strategy intern, Vicki, has been encouraged to ask questions whenever possible. After all, we have a wealth and breadth of knowledge—both from current leaders and our biotechnology legacy—it’s only natural to hear straight from the experts!
By staying curious and asking questions, both Vicki and her mentors can pick up new perspectives on how their projects can make an impact. Vicki also gains more insight on where she can take her long-term career and how her growth can benefit both the team and the patients they serve.
“Everyone works so collaboratively at Amgen and they are so encouraging of your professional development and growth. If there was ever something I wanted to learn more about or had a question about, there was always someone willing to help me. For that, I’m so grateful. I think Amgen is a fantastic company to work for and do your next internship with. I highly recommend it to others.”
- Vicki, Global Regulatory Labeling Strategy InternThe Path
to Success
Amgen internships are about more than professional development. With our global reach and scale, we host a wide array of events for interns to get involved in.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are one way that Amgen team members of similar backgrounds and interests can meet to foster professional connections and personal development. ERGs are also actively involved in Amgen community initiatives, providing research grants and donations in volunteering events and corporate sponsorships.
How can these initiatives tie back into your career? It all goes back to our original mission to serve patients in everything we do. Because a patient is more than a patient—they’re neighbors, friends, and family members. They’re people from the same communities we live in and serve in each day.
By connecting our team members and interns with local leaders, it shows just how important the work we accomplish each day is. It can also inspire new avenues to make a difference, whether it’s in the office, in the lab, or in our personal lives. That’s why Sandhya, an Amgen R&D Talent and Culture intern, encourages their peers to stay open-minded about new ways to get involved.
“Be yourself and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Amgen values your authenticity and a go-getter attitude. Be proactive and ask questions; don’t wait for opportunities to come to you.”
- Sandhya, R&D Talent and Culture Intern
Simply put, an Amgen internship is more than a resume line. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn, grow, and pave a path for a future that can make a tremendous difference worldwide. Get started today by checking out our open opportunities!
