      Project Manager Interview

      Sep 27, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Foster City, CA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences (Foster City, CA)

      Interview

      Very straightforward process: applied online, got a call from HR, then talked to the hiring manager, then set up one-day interview. The entire day was set up so I would meet with different team members of varying positions (from recent hires to executive directors). From the benefits, relo, and HR perspective, I think everything was done well. The process was very smooth and people in these roles were very friendly. However, I decided to decline the offer. Companies should realize that strong candidates/millennials like myself are looking for things more than just compensation. The culture at Gilead, from my perspective, was very toxic and not supportive at all. People seemed overworked and unhappy with their jobs. This is a tell to stay away if you can find a job that is less stressful, where you will be valued and have a good work-life balance. Good luck to anyone considering working here.

      Product Manager Interview

      Mar 25, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences in Mar 2024

      Interview

      The interview process lasted over two months. I had more than ten years of relevant experience and had been working in the exact area they were hiring for. My second-round interview went well, but the recruiter ghosted me for over three months. It seems like the company as a whole lacks transparency in its hiring process. In contrast, companies like Pfizer and Moderna have much clearer and more transparent hiring practices.
