Pros

Health benefits are great..salary not as competitive

Cons

You will succeed at Gilead if you are white male and play their game. Do not disagree or object, you will be the outlier and will be pushed out the door. Your brain will rust in Gilead...Scientists spend so much time planning on perfecting presentations rather than focusing on research or science. Very political and unfortunately racist place. Asians will stay at low level in research, Indians will leave in couple of years, and blacks...hmm I don't see any in research..many were fired. Very depressing place.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
