The management is working really hard on controlling costs, and many good resources have already left the company because of cost cutting at Gilead. We'll see how things develop - I personally think they are getting ready to sell - that's why they are trying to get their house in order before the sale happens.
I've left Gilead Sciences in 2014, I was not laid off and I've left on my own - but I still have many dear friends who work there.
Whatever they decide to do - I wish them all the best...
