Pros

Relatively good stability. Coworkers are mostly chilled. Good equipment to get the work done. VP level or above management is alright but not too sure about the directors.

Cons

No work life balance. Lost in communications among different groups in the same projects. Strong favoritism towards certain race, sex, education and age group is demonstrated in director level managements. Management also has no intention to develop any employee who is not in their preferred group.

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.
