Gilead Sciences Reviews

Cons

Stock price only seems to be heading down lately.
Can be extremely fast paced at times.
Base compensation lower than most others.

Need to be a self-starter and motivated to learn.

Horrible management, no corporate culture, no direction or training

Cons

Cons

There is a high turn around

Cons

Company still suffers from infrastructure issues, very long hours, hardly any worklife balance. Easy to get burnt out.

Cons

Scientists get paid dirt compared to people with similar education and experience in other areas. This is not Gilead's fault, but if you are a scientist here you will not be able to afford to rent or own a house in town and will be stuck commuting for hours, unless you have a wealthy spouse or parents, etc. Despite having recently helped launch the biggest drug ever, my total compensation has dropped for three years straight. My kid now walks home from school alone because I can't afford an after school program, and I have to do side work on the weekends to make ends meet. They're threatening to put us in open floor plan office spaces and that may be the last straw for me.

Cons

None at the moment. t

Cons

Worst senior leadership I've seen, "unwritten rules", analysis paralysis, quirky cast of characters in prominent roles, TY "blacklist", "our way or the highway" mentality, avoid PDM, not enough kool aid to go around, not as progressive as other companies when it comes to work life flexibility

Cons

Very weak pipeline in research. Company is ok and stable for now but with the rapidly declining revenues and competition from Abbvie, an M&A of a company with a late stage molecule is desperately needed.
Depending on your manager, career development will come by at a snail's pace.
