Gilead Sciences, Inc.

"good support and resources available; leadership is available and supportive in some groups"

"In the department I work in, the company policies in place allow for managers some flexibility and can be open to interpretation. The timelines in research are aggressive which can make life work balance hard at times. In the end, everything is data driven. Overall a good place to work. And the bonus is that you really understand the ultimate goals of the company and how it will affect people which is a great feeling at the end of the day."

"I've seen many women be successful in this environment. While each person experience definitely depends on the department they are in, and the boss they have, overall I think the processes and culture and people are generally very supportive of advancing women's careers and allowing for some flexibility when needed. Parental leave benefits have improved immensely over the past few years and so many colleagues of mine have recently had children. While there is more work to do, I see Gilead continually moving in the right direction. "

"This is a fast moving, high demand environment where the mountain is still rising. If this excites you and you are a long distance sprinter- you will thrive. The people are amazing and passionate."

"Watch your back. new management is about assigning blame and deflecting any responsibility for actions/decisions."
