Pros

Verily came out of Google X and spun out of Alphabet. This is the only "pro" and comes with a lot of unpacking. The above could mean you will work with long-timers who know how to plan, pivot, and perform.

Cons

Salaries were slashed and are now low-to-mid for the industry Equity was reduced 80% in fall 2025 (for those who had vested shares and unable to sell because the company is still private, this is a gigantic blow) Leadership team consistently fights within and explains direction poorly, then often changes the message Middle management is in survival mode, has little management skills, and can not help with career direction or promotions Promising hardware-focused products were ended to focus on cheaper-to-build software Said software is entering an incredibly competitive market with no moat or differentiator FAA investigation for violations to PHI Tech stack needed to get off Google's to de-creep-ify the platform for health data, but leaving Google and its AI models makes Verily's decision hard to comprehend

Disappointing

Pros

Verily had the funding, talent, and support from Google to make a real difference for billions of people.

Cons

10 years later, it feels like Verily has squandered the opportunity to serve even thousands of people, in a revolving door of egos with increasingly impossible ambitions. Total compensation and benefits have been deeply reduced, leaving a deeply disengaged workforce of people who are looking for other jobs. Verily surprisingly lacks a purpose-driven culture and I can't say with any clarity how our mission connects to most roles or products.

Thank you for leaving your review, and we're sorry to hear that you're having a disappointing experience. Verily continues to have the support from its investors and has exciting momentum around our product portfolio. If you haven't seen our CEO's latest blog (posted below) which was recently shared in company Slack and newsletters, this outlines the momentum in more detail. We encourage you to join an upcoming monthly "AMA" with our head of product to ask questions or offer feedback, and to join the upcoming company town hall where more information about our 2025 plan will be shared, and there will be time for Q&A for any questions. Thank you for being a part of Verily and please reach out to Verily-Pact@ any time if you would like to share more feedback or suggestions. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. https://verily.com/perspectives/verily-ai-precision-health-2025

What a joke

Pros

It's an Alphabet company. There are still a handful of great people there. Pay is competitive, but that will likely go away along with everything else they are cutting.

Cons

Wasted three years not able to accomplish anything because of constant layoffs and budget cutbacks. Like others have said, the main revenue driver is stop gap insurance. There is zero healthcare innovation going on. This experience was a huge disappointment.
