Philip Ryan spoke to SiliconRepublic.com about his experience working at Amgen, from intern to graduate to senior manufacturing associate.

Senior manufacturing associate Philip Ryan first came to work at Amgen as an intern during his fourth year at Maynooth University.

He then went on to join its graduate programme, where he got the opportunity to explore different areas within manufacturing.

“The big thing is, when you come out of college, to get an opportunity to have a taste of all those different areas,” he said.
