Pros
Large company feel with some large company benefits like small gym, onsite childcare.
Cons
Refusal to listen to employee feedback has hurt this company (low morale, recent layoffs, multiple FDA 483 observations). Vesting options are the "golden handcuffs" to keep people there, since burnout rate is high (Gilead boasts it operates at a 10K employee capacity with half of that employee amount, hence the stressed-out individuals). No transparency with management. Inadequate training provided to employees and in turn the employees are expected to perform at a high level. Internal methods and SOPs are riddled with inconsistencies and errors. Supervisor did not understand the difference between the mediocrity of the current state and the possibility of thinking "out the box". In addition, supervisor was poorly trained, gave little support and based employee assessments subjectively (confirmed via discussion with other employees).
