Pros

Health benefits are great..salary not as competitive

Cons

You will succeed at Gilead if you are white male and play their game. Do not disagree or object, you will be the outlier and will be pushed out the door. Your brain will rust in Gilead...Scientists spend so much time planning on perfecting presentations rather than focusing on research or science. Very political and unfortunately racist place. Asians will stay at low level in research, Indians will leave in couple of years, and blacks...hmm I don't see any in research..many were fired. Very depressing place.

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.
