Pros

Highly competent and qualified peers. Gilead hires the best in the industry. Good benefits. You will learn more in 2 years than you will learn in 10 years working elsewhere. Exposure to valuable knowledge. RSUs. HR development programs. Great training. Well structured organization. Welcomes change. Good company to learn the job and industry.

Cons

No work-life balance. Overworked - on average 10-12 hours per day. No WFH. No flexible business hours. Uncompetitive salaries. Promotion based on politics versus merit. Hard to move up or around.

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the best 401k matches in the Bay Area. Beautiful campus

Cons

Very weak pipeline in research. Company is ok and stable for now but with the rapidly declining revenues and competition from Abbvie, an M&A of a company with a late stage molecule is desperately needed. Depending on your manager, career development will come by at a snail's pace.
