Great mission, poorly managed company. - Anonymous employee Verily Employee Review

- Bad work life balance. This is understandable given the stage company is in, pre-IPO, and nature of work in biotech industry. - CEO + senior management don't know what it takes to build a valuable product. This is the biggest gap. Verily needs a sustainable business model that's not partnership driven in order to be self-sufficient, and grow outside of Alphabet. Senior leadership lacks experience here. True innovation doesn't only come from clinical innovations. Verily is a technology company. - Senior management over promises to partners, and company then under delivers (due to reasons above). - Terrible leadership. Q&As, All Hands, Surveys are just placeholders. Leadership doesn't "actually" take employee feedback seriously. - CEO lacks empathy. That's not necessarily a requirement for a CEO, but I would expect a CEO to be at least business-savvy if lacking empathy.
