It was a good place to work, but has been pulled to pieces.
It was a good place to work, but has been pulled to pieces.
In the past, Verily had Google comp and benefits. Lots of ex-Googlers and integration across Google internal systems and processes created a strong culture. There were signs of hope during and after COVID for viable product lines. As of 2025, those have all been completely scrapped, fired, or pulled apart, and the company is a sinking ship.
- No clear vision or communication.
- Changes to team structure, job, compensation, etc. are all communicated last minute, and are always bad news. There is no ability to get promoted, get paid fairly, or have any stability.
- All the cons of being part of a large organization (lots of bureaucracy, extraordinary drag on designing and launching a product, lack of accountability, no clear "founder" vision) but also all the cons of a startup (noncompetitive pay and no stability).

A recruiter contacted me for a 30-minute phone call. The recruiter was kind and liked my enthusiasm for integrating software with life sciences. I was later scheduled for a phone interview. During the interview, I was completely lost.
