Pros

Gilead pays well, on the higher end of the biopharma industry. The scientists at Gilead are brilliant.

Cons

Leaning too heavily into DEI has resulted in hiring unqualified leaders, including at the top levels of the company. This is very demotivating. Some leaders play favorites. This has led to some terrible hiring. Not an inclusive culture if you don't have the same politics as company leaders. If you are even a moderate poltiically, you will feel very isolated. Efforts to diversify the portfolio have not yet borne fruit so HIV is everything. No balance or respect for fact that employees have lives outside of work. I have traveled on multiple weekends and on two public holidays this year just for internal meetings. I have only had one conversation about development with my manager and she did not follow up or support anything we discussed. Just checked a box.

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.
