Pros

Good ESPP, 401K plan, backup care benefits- nice location, club fitness available, bagels on Wed.

Cons

People who have been working for the company for 8-10 years are usually in a position of power and tend to abuse their direct reports. These managers spend their time at the gym, pretending to work, bragging about their stock options and RSUs - how much they have in their bank account. Toxic environment for someone who is a hard worker and ambitious...very discouraging...

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.
