Losing Google benefits by end of 2024

Pros

Working with really great people

Cons

- Insane workload - Losing Google benefits by the end of 2024 - 401K match going from best-in-class 50% to a mediocre 3% (for a 6% salary contribution); it's the lowest of any company I've worked for - VLP does not take the regulatory & compliance landscape seriously; did not even care to announce an FDA inspection broadly, and Quality/Compliance topics are never discussed in townhalls If you're applying here, don't be fooled to think you'll be joining a Google company. This is not Google and our current ties to Google will be fully removed by the end of 2024, including all benefits.

Thank you for leaving your review. We're glad to see that you appreciate your colleagues, which is a common theme we hear here on Glassdoor as well as in company surveys. We're sorry to hear that you have a heavy workload, and encourage you to speak to your manager to help prioritize and set realistic expectations for your role. From a benefits perspective, we have just completed our first standalone Benefits Open Enrollment (apart and different from Google's benefits that we have had for the past several years). As you have seen through the roadshows and Benefits presentations, we are happy to be offering a health plan that is very similar to the previous plan from both a coverage and a premiums perspective. From the regulatory and compliance perspective, there were communications shared in the company Slack channel both about preparing for the audit and completing it. And it's a great suggestion to ensure that Quality and Compliance topics are included in company town halls in the future as this is certainly a company focus in support of our company OKR on Regulatory Excellence. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback. Please reach out to us at verily-PACT@ if you'd like to share more details or information, or suggestions about how we can improve your experience at Verily.

Pros

- Decent work life balance if you're able to be strong enough

Cons

- New C-Suite leaders *legitimately* every year completely overturning company strategy on a whim -- the latest laid off 33% of the PM org one month in without really knowing any of them, including all of the PM directors - Each new C-Suite then brings in all of their own people, leaving the people who had put years of hard work into the company to be laid off or cast aside - Benefits will be going away since Google want's Verily out of Alphabet (can't blame them) - DON'T LET THEM TRICK YOU!!!! You won't even be allowed in Google offices soon - Almost every employee is upset and happy, and that energy just permeates. You can try your best to say "it's just a job" and to rise above it, but in every 1:1 you will be in everyone is just sad and confused and it really sucks the life out of you. - Stephen Gillett needs to get off twitter and actually do work for the company - The company *will* tank once the money dries up. There is *no* revenue coming in and no viable product

Thank you for leaving your review and we’re sorry to hear you’re having this experience. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly to hear more of your feedback. Verily moves quickly and there have been several changes as the business has evolved, which we know can be challenging, especially for Veeps (employees) who have been here for longer periods of time. As it relates to changes related to Project Flywheel (our separation from Google platforms and systems), we made a commitment to share information with employees as soon as decisions are made, which we’ve done across multiple channels over the past two+ years so there should be no surprises to employees about what’s happening or what’s to come. We are also working closely with our recruiters to ensure their conversations with candidates reflect all of the information and decisions, as well as to outline what additional changes are planned. Specifically, as you heard in our recent company meeting, Verily’s go-forward benefits are not going away at all - we’re staying with our same providers and offering nearly identical medical, dental and vision plans and no changes in premiums from 2024 to 2025. We know strong benefits are one of the many reasons Veeps are drawn to Verily and this is not changing. We also continue to have the support of Alphabet and our investors as is shared regularly with all employees. Thanks again for sharing, and please reach out to PACT directly at Verily-PACT@google.com.

Unstable with poor outlook

Pros

Benefits, most of which will end in 2024

Cons

Constant re-org. We go through 2-3 a year. Leadership comes in and out the door, new CEO, new president, new chief this, new chief that, strategy is never consistent. Layoffs happening frequently - some are public, others are done quietly and suddenly. Honestly, it's a disgrace to people who have put in years of work. I wouldn't recommend working here. Very poor future outlook.
