Pros

Competitive compensation package. Paid company shut down in July and December. Great CEO and new executive leadership team.

Cons

Unfortunately, the old Gilead is still present in most groups were middle management was promoted to executive directors/group heads. The results is a lack of adherence to the new vision and company values put in place by the new CEO and a pervasive toxic work culture making it difficult to affect positive change. Lack of direct and transparent communication. Lack of collaboration, with silos reinforced by older management. Lack of upskilling of many employees with long tenures at Gilead and reluctance to adopt ideas brought in by new employees. Lack of career growth opportunity.

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.
