Pros

Great benefits in terms of health benefits, 401k and ESPP. Bagel/fruit on Wednesday. Some talented people, if they are not burned out yet.

Cons

Complete nightmare. No roles and responsibilities. The worker bees continue to work and get burn out. Upper management constantly hiring talkers and not workers. New manager tends to demoralize the working staff. In addition, departments point finger at each other when project do not meet timeline.

Pros

Meaningful, mission-driven work with the opportunity to contribute to projects that can have a real impact on patients. Colleagues are highly knowledgeable, supportive, and generally willing to provide mentorship. Gilead also offers strong resources, exposure to different functions within the pharmaceutical industry, and opportunities to work on high-visibility projects.

Cons

Cons: As with many large companies, decision-making and project approvals can sometimes move slowly because of multiple layers of review. The experience may also vary depending on the specific team and manager, and the number of meetings and internal processes can occasionally feel cumbersome.
