Gilead is definitively best in class biotech for the quality of the Research and TAs. Very high level staff in every dpt Extremely IT driven with fast working pace Attractive Comp&Ben

Cons

The system is spoiled by very low level HR people - among the worst I faced in my career They are not able to identify abusers, and treat them as such. A strong improvement is needed here

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.
