Pros
Overall company reputation, compensation, benefits are good in comparison to many other BioTech companies in the Bay Area. Lots of recent investments in employee wellness and increased benefits programs. Commuter bus program, flexible schedule options. May get opportunities for growth if in the right department.
Cons
The leadership within many departments is just incompetent. I would call them fake news. They seem to just care to get themselves ahead. A lot of leaders care about managing upwards and pleasing their bosses even if they may be wrong or just immature. Many leaders just talk and can walk the talk. Many are good at just putting together good presentations but actually fail in implementing the change or operationalize the strategy laid out. In most cases, the leadership is hypocritical in their own behavior and just looks at short-term goals. All major departments operate in silos and just are clueless about what is going on with other departments even if they may be dependent on each other. Leaders need to instill a culture of inclusivity and trust among departments. Many of our departments in our organization operate for individual department success and not the success of Gilead as a whole.
