Pros

Good energy. Strong work ethic of co-workers. Focus on the science behind their products. Continually expanding and growing.

Cons

Too much work, not strong enough direction or coordination. With growth, comes growing pains. Not all departments are keeping up with the demands of a growing company.

Pros

Small company, stable employment, multiple interesting projects, great colleagues, good place to gain valuable experience, fast pace, low bureaucracy. Decision making is very fast and employees are allowed to react at the same pace. Gilead, due to it's commercial success, has a very good reputation in the industry and is a definite positive to have on your resume.

Cons

Unreasonable work hours, low base pay, little room for advancement, disconnected arrogant uncaring management. Very high barriers exist for moving between departments. Overall, Gilead is a good place to start or transition your career (i.e. gain experience), but not a company you would want to stay long term.

Pros

Stocks, small population, learning opportunity is great.

Cons

We are underpaid for what we do. The jobs are not departmentalized. We have 10 different things going on, but get paid less than the guy at Genentech that makes broth to feed cells all day long.
