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

Pros

Good compensation and nice coworkers

Cons

It’s like leadership is trying to be as stereotypically corporate-nasty and sketchy as possible. (For fun, maybe? Hope you’re having fun in your dark gray blazers.) The company feels very unstable from the inside and morale has completely tanked. There’s also a highly uncomfortable obsession and dependence on office presence. They begrudgingly give two remote days, for now, but the work you do isn’t as important as “looking busy” and performance optics in the office. I just can’t recommend Verily as a place of work, unless you’re desperate or have an unexpectedly brilliant long-term plan to make it work for your career?
