Pros

Great benefits and pay that's typically higher than most other companies

Cons

Budget problems in areas like IT resulting in outsourcing activities, Leaders want their favorites, job responsibilities not very clear. A few groups including their managers and all team members had to be laid off - some mostly voluntary I think. this is not the company for the long term, but I am enjoying the ride while it lasts.

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.
