I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences
Interview
2 rounds of on-campus interview with different teams. All questions around fit and experiences. No curve-ball questions, no excel competency test, no cases. They also scheduled an HR screening on the 2nd round to access rank and estimate salary expectation (be careful of that assessment, the company is known for low-balling candidates on experience and ranks etc).
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences (Foster City, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
6 back to back interviews with Directors/Managers & 6 interviews with potential peers to evaluate fit and alternative positions to plug in due to the firm's position in the business cycle. Prompt HR correspondence and great people. Intimidating looking at schedule but true experience dependent upon people interviewing you.
