Pros

Nothing worth torturing yourself ...

Cons

1- Toxic environment - they undervalue your work and then steal it and present it themselves. There is no right way to get the credit of your work. 2- They exclude you (specially if you are minority) from important meeting and information. Then, they bully you that you have not show enough initiation to be involved. 3- They abuse your skill set to make fake scientific stories for publications. These people are against science and facts. FDA should really take a closer look. 4- In general, the company is going south by wrong decisions. Check their current drugs and compare to their competitors. 5- No work- life balance. They make you work like a dog under extreme micro-management. 6- They lie to your eyes everyday. It is disgusting to work with these unethical people. 7- When they want to hire you, they try to sell you that these is a great place, be aware, these is their trick to hire, then they give you some sign on package that in order to have it, you have to stay with them for at least two-three years. This is how they trap you. 8- The diversity is very low in a weird way. Each department is almost single race, e.g., all Chinese, or all white 9- Lots of duplication projects, because they copy each other or steal each other's work. 10- If you still have not been convinced, try and see it for yourself.

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.
