Pros

Benefits. About it. Not much else.

Cons

Toxic people and culture. Throw you under the bus for other’s poor direction and guidance. Managers take credit for your work and ideas but they get the promotions. Unless you’re coming from Gilead, forget about any career opportunities. Promotions and pay raises handed out not on merit and actual job duties but rather “what your manager can do for you”. Zero work life balance. Siloed functions. It is a churn and burn organization, unless you’re in the Gilead alum clique. Lots of small bio/pharma opportunities in the Bay Area. This would definitely be on the bottom of my list of best places to work and that is before you realize there’s gnats flying all over from that wall of plants in the break room.

Pros

You are treated like an adult and trusted to own your work. Boundaries are respected and guilt-free PTO. Managers invest in your long-term career growth.

Cons

I personally can't think of anything, but this is a small company, which means sometimes you have to wear many hats. This kind of environment may not be for everyone.

Pros

1. Employees feel valued 2. Tons of opportunity for cross-functional collaboration

Cons

None! The near 0 turnover is evidence of this.
