My job search brought me to a contractor company (Aerotek/EASI) which provides Gilead with longer contract roles (mine role was a 3 year contract). Aerotek acted as the liaison for my interview process at Gilead. I had at least 2 phone calls before getting a phone screening with the contract manager at Gilead. After that, I got schedule for an on site interview with the actual hiring manager. Interview was straight forward and easy. I got a request for a follow up virtual interview with other managers of the team that I'd be joining. I was partly frustrated that these other managers didn't bother to meet in when I was actually on site, but I happily obliged (and once again, took more time off work to speak with them). After meeting the whole team, I had to take an online excel test (which you can find a lot of practice ones on youtube FYI) and then learned that I was second choice for the job. I am not bitter about not getting the job, but there are definitely a lot of hoops to jump through during the interviewing process. Would not recommend for a contracting job tbh.

Interview process through Actalent, First interview with HR, Second Interview with hiring manager, Third Interview with two members of the time. The last interview was very intense with a lots of questions,
