All the talent is leaving, especially after two key leaders in the product/research development announced their departures late last year.
Leadership does silent layoffs so as not to gain media attention but does not acknowledge them internally - expected to do multiple people’s jobs, had been told for over a year that headcount would be hired and it never happened.
Thought this was going to my long term job. One thing Verily does well - marketing a brand to make it seem successful despite not having any sustained profit or product since its founding. If I had known the environment would have been like this, I would have never joined - no amount of money or benefits is worth what is probably the most toxic environment I’ve ever worked in.
This isn’t “google x” or “google life sciences ” anymore despite people putting that 8 year old statement on their LinkedIns. It’s a failing startup with inexperienced and incompetent leadership. If you want to work at Google, apply to Google.
