Gilead Sciences reviews

Gilead is a decent company to learn and develop if your management is willing to develop you. If not, you’ll be stuck doing a 7 to 7 job every day without any recognitions or promotions. I started as a contractor, then later became a full time employee. Had multiple re-org within the past three years, and new directions depending on upper management. In my opinion, Gilead grew too fast trying to hire new talents while trying to backfill burned out talents. It’s a never ending cycle, where majority of the talents working for Gilead only had been with company for 1 to 3 years. This is one company I wouldn’t recommend unless you enjoy 7 to 7 work schedule with no appreciation. The old timers “with at least 7 years” are stubborn and unwilling to learn and adopt to new things. It a tough job, if you are hungry, take the job so you don’t starve. Then you should immediately start looking, don’t get comfortable. This is a hit and run situation.

High powered project teams and fast timelines means you get to see drugs you work on go into the clinic and help patients (provided you work on antivirals.)
