Pros

Not too many - pipeline seems dead, lots of pretty smart people, decent benefits. Seem to be able to launch products quickly, but are very sloppy and miss a lot of details that need to be cleaned up later at a huge cost.

Cons

Extremely poor senior management, arrogant, not interested in developing people. Work hour expectations are extreme - you are criticized if you use your vacation, expected to travel on weekends without compensation for the time, managers are critical, unsupportive and generally abusive and rude to the employees. Micromanagement is the preferred style, no trust of the employees to do their job.

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.
