Gilead is who it claims to be. Core Values are part of our DNA. I’m as jaded as the next person my age; nonetheless, I truly believe Gilead is a force for good in the world. It’s not perfect but it knows that and tries to get better and do better every day.
Cons
Too much work to do, seriously.

Pros
Decent benefits like healthcare and 401k
Cons
The company recently went back on their previous return to office policies. They are now enforcing 3 days per week and tracking employee attendance and time on site. Never mind if your entire department is remote, still have to be onsite. The culture is toxic and the company is bloated with highly paid managers and executives who are out of touch with modern working culture. Very hard to grow your career, employees are required to spend 2 years in their position before even being considered for promotion. Company doesn’t allow for an employee to receive the highest performance rating two years in a row, regardless of their actual performance.

Could be a better toxic environment
May 14, 2023 - Sales SpecialistRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good pay, benefits, that’s pretty much it. Managers are toxic egomaniacs that are mostly new to management and trying to figure it out by strangling the life out of employees.
Cons
Not so good if you don’t thrive in toxicity

-$1000 Wellness Benefit -$15k 401k Match -ESPP -New Gym
Cons
Little to no work, life balance. Newer teams do not have structure and a bit disorganized. Some people want to take on more than they can chew (for lean reasons or visibility?) and then delegate to lower level associates/specialist and provide no guidance.
