Pros

Gilead offers a good compensation package, including salary, bonuses, stock and ESOP.

Cons

Gilead strives to get the most out of its employees, and not by way of professional development. While it prides itself on "being lean by design" it boils down to being a sweat shop geared for burn out in approximately 2-3 years, which is about the average length of stay for most employees. While the compensation may be enticing, in the long run it is not worth it. Gilead is also a very male-driven company, far behind the times when it comes to truly creating a even playing field for women.

Pros

Great company to work with away from the main headquarters located in Foster City. Lots of learning opportunities and a good culture to make it so you enjoyed working with your colleagues.

Cons

Management reviews and process for promotions seem a bit skewed. It seemed to fall on how well your own management could "sell" you to the other team's management.
