Gilead Sciences reviews

Limited chances for career development. Management is clear that unless there is a business need to develop a new skill, forget about it. Most people get pigeonholed into doing one thing over and over, which on the plus side is efficient, but is also mind-numbing; Gilead claims to be a "pay for performance" company, however management has no clue who is doing what. I've seen people work 16 hour days and accomplish a tremendous amount of work, and I've seen people work 8 hour days and spend half the day socializing, but at the end of the year they end up with the same rating/bonus because management has no idea who is actually doing the work.

Extremely poor senior management, arrogant, not interested in developing people. Work hour expectations are extreme - you are criticized if you use your vacation, expected to travel on weekends without compensation for the time, managers are critical, unsupportive and generally abusive and rude to the employees. Micromanagement is the preferred style, no trust of the employees to do their job.
