Pros
Lots to do, giving one the latitude to learn new skills. Good team camaraderie.
Cons
Cons out weigh pros... Gilead (1) runs “lean” meaning it’s top heavy with management trying to push its employees to continually do more with less, (2) employee performance reviews are based upon an unspoken quota system or “bell curve”, (3) benefits lag industry standards, typically Gilead follows Genentech’s policies, (4) being top heavy creates limited career mobility so be prepared to put in more effort towards your self branding, (5) culture is passive aggressive and (6) large-scale initiatives are run poorly with inadequate change management and tactical planning.
