I have been working at Gilead Sciences full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Good benefits and good pay.
Cons
Too many chiefs and not enough indians. They overwork us, the employees, sometimes working 14+hrs a day and expect high quality of work. Very lean when it comes to the workers, yet there's many management positions just giving orders.
Advice to Management
Interact with your employees. Get to know them.
