I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Gilead Sciences (Foster City, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
2x Phone, 1x Face-to-face with 6 individuals, ranging from peers to two levels higher. Was pretty easy since they were not experts in this field. Could basically say anything in a professional manner and still be hired! I would have asked more technical questions. So do not fret too much if you are interviewing here at all.
