Pros

Good compensation, nice facilities, some good people

Cons

Worst senior leadership I've seen, "unwritten rules", analysis paralysis, quirky cast of characters in prominent roles, TY "blacklist", "our way or the highway" mentality, avoid PDM, not enough kool aid to go around, not as progressive as other companies when it comes to work life flexibility

Pros

Meaningful, mission-driven work with the opportunity to contribute to projects that can have a real impact on patients. Colleagues are highly knowledgeable, supportive, and generally willing to provide mentorship. Gilead also offers strong resources, exposure to different functions within the pharmaceutical industry, and opportunities to work on high-visibility projects.

Cons

Cons: As with many large companies, decision-making and project approvals can sometimes move slowly because of multiple layers of review. The experience may also vary depending on the specific team and manager, and the number of meetings and internal processes can occasionally feel cumbersome.
