Pros

Great benefits, 401k match, competitive salary, and very supportive team and management in Supply Chain. They really care about the employees and it shows when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Employees who work from home were given $1000 allowance to cover equipment costs without having the need to publicize it (unlike tech companies). They also offered other resources and reimbursements. Management also encourages taking breaks, lunches, and promote healthy work/life balance. We even received a few food deliveries at home! Kite is also very diverse and inclusive. I feel very fortunate to work here.

Cons

Commute to Santa Monica is the only con for me. However, it's nice that they provide shuttles to/from the office from certain locations. Saves me at least an hour of driving through traffic one-way, each day.

Hi, this is Matt Hostetler. First, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. When the pandemic began earlier this year, we had two big priorities: Supporting patients and employees as best as we possibly could. I am glad to hear that you’re feeling supported by Gilead and Kite during this difficult and unusual time. Please feel free to email me if there’s anything you’d like to discuss.
