Pros

Reasonable compensation. Strong pipeline. Patient Focused Research

Cons

I am fully aware of the risk of using superlatives in a review, but after 20 years in Biotech this is the worst company I ever worked for. Its not if, but when, you are going to experience the madness people talking about on this post. It is so bad you have to see it to believe it. If you are about to be sold on a "great opportunity to be part of a awesome growing company, where things move fast ..." Ask the internal recruiter or the hiring manager to see that last three employee engagement survey results and draw your own conclusion.

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.
