Pros

The company has some extremely talented colleagues who are passionate, skilled, and driven in their respective fields. Lots of innovative projects across research and care, which can offer super exciting challenges and opportunities to learn.

Cons

The culture is marked by political infighting that stifles collaboration and progress. Frequent changes and reorgs foster instability and uncertainty—I've never seen a company with more employee churn in my career. Over one year alone, my entire team turned over twice, making it nearly impossible to maintain momentum or build trust with our partners. The lack of a cohesive product strategy leads to wasted effort on projects that are abandoned or fail to deliver any impact. Employees are treated as disposable, with layoffs and team transitions handled in a cold, impersonal manner, lacking any genuine consideration or empathy. This atmosphere leaves a portion of employees feeling deeply undervalued, disengaged, and disillusioned.

Thank you for leaving your review. While we're glad to hear that you enjoyed your colleagues and your innovative projects, we're sorry to hear that you had a less positive experience with culture and leadership. There has been a significant level of change at the company this year around Project Flywheel, which we know can be challenging on teams and individuals. No matter what the cause, feeling undervalued at work is unfortunate, and not aligned to our values of 'respecting individuals.' We're sorry to hear that you had this experience, and encourage you to share more of this feedback with us via Verily-PACT@verily.health. We continue to prioritize a positive culture where all employees feel valued, respected and heard. We wish you all the best in your next role and thank you for all you did while you were at Verily.

Pros

> Colleagues are amazingly smart. Could be anywhere but are at Verily to work on our purpose and innovative product set > Roll up sleeves opportunity for building products and solutions, very empowering environment > Playful and supportive culture which is improving

Cons

> Project Flywheel is all-consuming, taking focus away from teams who need to be focused on other work and often leading to long days > Change fatigue, which will improve next year > Feeling of "building plane while flying it" which has its highs and lows

Thank you for leaving a review, and we're happy to hear that your work-life balance is very good. This is something we hear often from our employees and we know it's very important to maintain as a part of our culture. We are sorry you aren't as optimistic about the company's trajectory. There has been a heavy focus on our business transformation this year, and especially in the past few months as we lead up to our completion date of Project Flywheel later this month. As we have shared in recent town halls and blogs, our product and commercial teams are working toward prioritized road maps and making great progress -- we are excited to celebrate this in our year-end town hall next week and come into 2025, building on our momentum. We encourage you to share more of your feedback with your manager or PACT, as well as providing any suggestions or feedback for improvement. Thanks again for leaving your review.
