Pros

Gilead pays well, on the higher end of the biopharma industry. The scientists at Gilead are brilliant.

Cons

Leaning too heavily into DEI has resulted in hiring unqualified leaders, including at the top levels of the company. This is very demotivating. Some leaders play favorites. This has led to some terrible hiring. Not an inclusive culture if you don't have the same politics as company leaders. If you are even a moderate poltiically, you will feel very isolated. Efforts to diversify the portfolio have not yet borne fruit so HIV is everything. No balance or respect for fact that employees have lives outside of work. I have traveled on multiple weekends and on two public holidays this year just for internal meetings. I have only had one conversation about development with my manager and she did not follow up or support anything we discussed. Just checked a box.
