I applied online. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences in May 2021
Interview
Received an email from hiring manager ~1 week after applying, then had calls with two hiring managers that were fairly technical. Followed by this, I had an equivalent of an on-site interview and spoke to 8-9 different members of the team who were all very friendly and asked interesting questions on my work, and gave a 1 hr presentation.
