Gilead Sciences reviews

Micromanagement from the top down specifically in PDM department. Hindrance of innovation and growth of employees. No investment in mentoring and recognition. Antiquated systems. No consistent respect for work/ life balance leading to employee "burn-out". Management greatly suffers from a lack of transparency and openness about the "big picture" which hinders the level of investment, contribution, and loyalty employees have with projects. Hoarding information to maintain a sense of power and control is not conducive to a team environment.

Top 5 Execs (who've been around WAY too long) have stunted the ability for positive growth and innovation in products. Their personal need to control too much of the business detail has created a distrustful and disrespectful environment. The people they hire who have brains, energy and experience are pretty quick to realize that this is a hostile, political place were "loyal" employees are rewarded for turning the other cheek and newer employees questioning the status quo are met with ostracizing. There is no in-between here: either happy people who've drank the kool aid or miserable people no longer applying themselves and looking for other jobs.
