Pros

Good benefits! Chair massages will really help with the stress at this place.

Cons

If you get a job offer, don't expect a higher title - Gilead typically offers the same title you are at or the next LOWER title. This may change as the Gilead stock and overall status declines. Don't expect any promotions while working at Gilead. If you apply for another position that would be a promotion and they accept you - expect to take the job for the same pay and title level you are currently at! Gilead will allow you the privilege of being paid less than market for the work that you perform. Do expect a boys club culture, especially in PDM QA.

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.
