Pros

In the past, Verily had Google comp and benefits, and lots of ex-Googlers and integration across Google internal systems and process created a strong culture. There were signs of hope during and after COVID of viable product lines. As of 2025 those have all been completely scrapped, fired, or pulled apart, and the company is a sinking ship.

Cons

- No clear vision or communication - Changes to team structure, job, compensation, etc. is all communicated last minute, and is always bad news. There is no ability to get promoted, get paid fairly, or have any stability. - All the cons of being part of a large organization (lots of bureaucracy, extraordinary drag on designing and launching a product, lack of accountability, no clear "founder" vision) but also all the cons of a startup (noncompetitive pay and no stability)

Pros

Most of the team was very smart, and much of the work was very interesting.

Cons

Chaotic team structure, lots of red tape, confusing project ownership, too many overlapping people on some projects, while not enough for others.
