Layoff
June 1, 2026Gilead to Lay Off 108 at Redwood City Headquarters
Gilead Sciences filed to lay off 108 employees at its Redwood City, California headquarters, effective June 30, as the biotech trimmed corporate roles heading into mid-2026.
Why Did This Happen?
1
Corporate restructuring and prioritization of late-stage pipeline programs
2
Cost discipline amid shifting biopharma R&D economics
3
Consolidation of headquarters functions
4
A broader wave of California and New Jersey biopharma WARN filings this spring
Impact Analysis
The reduction is modest relative to Gilead's global headcount but reflects continued belt-tightening across biopharma corporate functions in 2026.
