Verily

Getting to work with a lot of very smart, motivated people. Verily has so many interesting projects across different areas of healthcare/life sciences, and I've found it really interesting to learn about other product areas and initiatives outside my immediate team.

The senior leadership team recently put on Verily's first "Strategy Week" where they had many all-company sessions with different leaders laying out their vision and plans for the future -- that transparency was great, and it was really cool to hear from the senior leadership about their personal motivations for getting involved in this work.

I've had good work-life balance so far in my role -- from what I understand, lots of the bad reviews about work-life balance here came from the teams who spun up COVID-related projects in the early days of the pandemic, which definitely could have been handled better, but isn't representative of the company as a whole.

Verily is growing very rapidly right now, which naturally comes with some growing pains. Verily is also in an interesting stage as it tries to become more independent from Google. This involves lots of migrations off of Google-internal tools and infrastructure.
