Pros

Great opportunity to develop skills and plenty of opportunities for growth. The work experiences gained and the company will look good on resume for future opportunities.

Cons

Heavy workload, most people get burned out within the first year. Lack of pay adjustment based on market forces - not unheard for new employees to come in at lower title and making more than their managers.

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.
