Gilead Sciences reviews

The Gilead experience varies by group. But the overarching theme is dissatisfaction. The company struggles to retain talent as many employees leave within a few years. They struggle to attract talent given their reputation as a workplace and below-market compensation. Career advancement is very slow, and lateral moves are not always supported (varies by team). Your colleagues will openly talk about leaving the company.

- overall low salaries compared to other biotech companies - VERY high turnover rate: company is expanding so fast that people who are not team players, not super competent, and/or are a bad personality fit are being hired solely as a pair of hands; this fosters a competitive and unpleasant work environment - people are overworked but under trained - upper management gets to decide when you will be promoted and how fast; the process is not transparent and what you have actually accomplished is not considered - you have no influence on what you want to work on; company needs trump your own personal career growth - feeling under appreciated for your efforts because your salary and bonuses do not reflect how hard you've worked and you are rarely rewarded for your accomplishments - INEFFICIENCY due to growing pains - many shortcuts are taken to fulfill timelines; this is probably not sustainable - bureaucratic hurdles - HORRIBLE morale because you are surrounded by people who are overworked, unhappy, and extremely stressed out
