Verily reviews

But people who have been at Verily for a few years are starting to feel like the mission is still so far into the future and may not be attainable. Things have gone from the mission inspiring employees to the company looking lost and getting crushed under the weight of the mission. For applicants, ask these questions in your interview or other people you know at the company, 1) How are your products differentiated? 2) How has your valuation grown in the last 3 years? 3) How has your client base grown in the last 3 years? 4) How satisfied are your clients? How many come back to renew their contracts? 5) How much is your employee churn? What is causing them? Make sure you are satisfied with the answers before you accept an offer.

- Chain of communication in management is highly selective and one sided. Lower management does not know the reality of their teams’ goals and this lapse continues up the ladder. - No interest in tackling technical debt. There is always the next immediate stakeholder (internal or external) priority which overshadows all outstanding or backlogged issues. - Management does not listen to lower level concerns and it is not encouraged to share opinions. - Work-life balance is bad even in the Bay Area. As you ramp up your time, that becomes the minimum expectation going forward. - Working remote is a challenge as a newer employee. The perks are slashed and life is less efficient though you are expected to deliver the same level of performance. - Negative company sentiment among low-to-mid level engineers.
