Pros

Gilead Sciences is a good place to work. The management team is capable, and they are very aggressive to accomplish the goals they set out for the company. Pay is average, stock options were good when the stock price was up, and the health care is very good.

Cons

Deadlines for projects are always changing, management doesn't always have a good idea of how long it takes to reasonable accomplish goals.

Great benefits. Very flexible and provided good work and life balance. Employee stock purchase plan was outstanding. Pay was competitive.
