Pros

Incredible opportunity to learn quickly Very smart co-workers Google Perks Products have tangible impact in the world

Cons

- Not uncommon for people to be under-leveled and therefore underpaid - Horrible work-life balance - consistent messaging/guilting from leadership that employees should be willing to sacrifice their own mental health because we build moral-driven products - Superficial commitment to equity and inclusion - Constantly changing priorities - impossible to hit a moving target - Messaging from senior leadership that we are all replaceable "if we can't handle the marathon" - no real desire to fix the culture of the company

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?
