Pros

Working on products that help patients. Fun co-workers. Good experience in the industry.

Cons

Director/Program Managers need more training on their roles and how to run trials. It is commonplace for management to have a lack of knowledge and soft skills to work in a team environment. Work/life balance is missing.

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.
