The process is considered standard in industry. Most company interviews last between 4 to 8+ hours which include a meal (lunch or dinner, or sometimes both). This interview lasted a half day with 1:1 meetings. You get a feel for the different interviewer's demeanor since finding the right fit is an important aspect of their selection criteria.
However, "personality" is a subjective term so the candidate selection process could drag on forever. (You won't know all the nuances of what a successful personality match is up front)
They seemed nice, yet nice doesn't always lead to a job offer. But in the short time I spent, I would certainly accept an offer (if one is made, even though a sense of urgency to fill the role did not seem present during the interview) because the interactions seemed fluid and they seemed like a group that you could work with.
Considering some of the other reviews, it appears that this company's follow-up if you aren't selected is pretty deplorable, so a realistic prediction of outcome of this encounter is undeterminable. I just hope that I get feedback or a reasonable offer.

Very fast. HR petson i worked with was very pushy to the point where I felt he had broken some of the new ca legislation asking about salary. The hiring manger was easy to talk to. No presentations just basic techinical questions.

I was contacted in April by a recruiter, then a phone interview with the hiring manager shortly thereafter. There was no follow up and I assumed I was out of the running until several months later I was asked if I'd like to come in for an interview. The interview was a half day of one-on-one or group interviews with various prospective colleagues and higher-ups. The questions were mostly technical with no behavioral ones asked.
I've heard Gilead runs "lean" and I got that impression. Some interviewers seemed impatient, brusque with one senior manager looking at the clock repeatedly. However, what compelled me to write was the total radio silence from the recruiter, the hiring manager or whoever after this interview. Very unprofessional and not an organization I would want to be a part of.
