      Research Scientist - Bioinformatics Interview

      9 Mar 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences in Feb 2022

      Interview

      I interviewed with Gilead Sciences in Feb 2022. Call with the hiring manager followed by an "on-site" (virtual) day of interviews which included a research talk and meeting/interview members of the team. Everyone was extremely friendly and tone of the interview was very conversational. Heard back from the recruiter within a week of the interview - the whole process took a month.

      Bioinformatics Research Scientist I Interview

      21 May 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Foster City, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences (Foster City, CA)

      Interview

      Common style interview, 8-3pm 1 on 1 interviews, asked to offer solutions to hypothetical scenarios, drilled down on my resume and technical experience. The whole hiring process was very fast, few weeks to an offer. People here seem to have the authority to make decisions. GSK and Genentech took forever (2+ months!) to move through the process.
