Thank you for leaving your feedback and we're glad to hear that you're having a good experience with our leadership team, your colleagues and the benefits that come by being an Alphabet company. Verily is indeed going through a lot of change, and that can present challenges for some. We're doing all we can to bring all employees along with clear, regular and transparent communications and listen to feedback and suggestions along the way. We are very excited about Verily's path forward!

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.
