Pros

As an antiviral company, Gilead is fantastic. Making a difference in people's lives ... allowing them to have a long life ahead. Refining the work done previously to provide better more effective therapies.

Cons

However, in other therapeutic areas, they are struggling because there is no strategy that is apparent to the people who has to execute. lots of bad decisions on projects - go/no-go/go/stop! There is a blame culture and leadership in oncology is lacking in therapeutic and operations. A few elite people make the decisions without regard to feedback of the masses. Quick to hire and makes bad hiring decisions.

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.
