      Pros

      *job security due to company's current financial standing *onsite cafes and gym *free bagels once a week *401K match

      Cons

      *pay is on the lower range for the bay area *not much training/career development offered to the staff. company has money but is generally not willing to pay for training, especially if it's out of town training *promotions are far and few (inconsistent), turn over is very high in clin ops *the management team has been around for many years (10+) and so nearly their entire experience has been at Gilead and in most cases it has not matured as the company size has matured. *micromanagement from top down *very inflexible with alternate work schedule (i.e. telecommuting, etc) *lean means completely understaffed

      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.
