Pros

Facilities and campus. They offer some good classes and learning sessions. Take all you can then take your skills elsewhere

Cons

You don't know who to trust. Working here will make you paranoid because there are so many smiling backstabbers. Heed the reputation and stay away for your own sanity! Whenever there is a Director opening it's like they go out and find more crooked people to fill the opening. There is a type that is successfully at this company: quiet sheep that are there for the perks or loud, aggressive dishonest people. Don’t waste time speaking to HR, they are there to protect the company and note the “trouble makers”.

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.
