I have had two interviews with Gilead Sciences till date, 4 years apart (2012 and 2016). Both did not end well because of lack of communication from Gilead after the interview process. Both times interviews progressed well. The first time I interviewed, I cleared my first round of interview on a positive note. My recruiter was in talks with Gilead to schedule my second round. I exchanged a few emails with my recruiter to provide all the details Gilead was seeking from me. And abruptly, one day the track went cold. No feedback or explanations were provided! The second experience was March of this year. There were two rounds of interview, Telephonic and Skype. After the Skype panel interview, I was offered the position. I accepted the offer and my start date was mutually agrees at 4 weeks from the date offer was made because I had to relocate coast to coast. I began my preparations like looking for housing, children's school admissions, contacting a realtor to sell my current residence, communicating to family and friends, giving notices at places that my children attended for classes or any other activities/organizations we were associated with and required 1-month notice, communicating to my spouse's employer about the relocation and obtaining approvals for the move etc. One week later my offer was abruptly withdrawn and no explanations were given. I understand the terms of employment etc. but, withdrawing offers is not commonplace. If there were compelling reasons, it will really help to give candidates specific feedback or reasons for withdrawing the offer. Now I am only left double guessing why the offer was withdrawn. I would definitely be extra cautious shortlisting interviews at Gilead or if the interviewing managers' name(s) come up in association with any other companies. I understand that I am only one individual vs. a fast growing pharma company with an amazing pipeline. I only speak for myself and have shared my (unpleasant) experiences with this company. I can only console myself now that maybe it is for a good reason, and good that it happened before I sold everything and moved. Or maybe I was spared from working with individuals who are unprofessional. Call it sour grapes or anything else, but reality is what it is! Overall, it was an unpleasant and unprofessional experience and I could have lived without it.
