Pros

Competitive compensation package. Paid company shut down in July and December. Great CEO and new executive leadership team.

Cons

Unfortunately, the old Gilead is still present in most groups were middle management was promoted to executive directors/group heads. The results is a lack of adherence to the new vision and company values put in place by the new CEO and a pervasive toxic work culture making it difficult to affect positive change. Lack of direct and transparent communication. Lack of collaboration, with silos reinforced by older management. Lack of upskilling of many employees with long tenures at Gilead and reluctance to adopt ideas brought in by new employees. Lack of career growth opportunity.

Pros

Great benefits, competitive pay, nice campus and perks. The company strives to be a good force in the world. The company is very stable with a strong outlook for the future.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement, promotions are rare for most people. Heavy workloads can make it difficult to maintain work/life balance. The company has an amazing ability to find people with poor interpersonal skills and promote them to supervisory roles; then they wonder why so many employees leave.

Pros

Great benefits, people are nice.

Cons

Processes are broken and management refuses to acknowledge. No follow-up on anything, not HR related issues, IT issues, employees are left swinging in the wind. New management motto seems to be “We want you happy, so leave.” Political land mines and some untrustworthy peers.
