      A very demanding and political environment to work in

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a lot one can learn in a very short time due to the high volume of work, there is the possibility to learn how to prioritize and focus on the important tasks, learning how to execute and accomplish tasks without much training, guidance or easily accessible information (excellent survival training), good environment for self-motivated individuals who are driving for results

      Cons

      Work life balance does not exist or just for short periods of time, the career development process is not transparent and difficult to understand, people are not easily promoted even if exceeding expectations, unforgiving environment regarding mistakes or perceived mistakes, employee satisfaction is not a focus of the company

      Pros

      *job security due to company's current financial standing *onsite cafes and gym *free bagels once a week *401K match

      Cons

      *pay is on the lower range for the bay area *not much training/career development offered to the staff. company has money but is generally not willing to pay for training, especially if it's out of town training *promotions are far and few (inconsistent), turn over is very high in clin ops *the management team has been around for many years (10+) and so nearly their entire experience has been at Gilead and in most cases it has not matured as the company size has matured. *micromanagement from top down *very inflexible with alternate work schedule (i.e. telecommuting, etc) *lean means completely understaffed
