Pros

The company has some extremely talented colleagues who are passionate, skilled, and driven in their respective fields. Lots of innovative projects across research and care, which can offer super exciting challenges and opportunities to learn.

Cons

The culture is marked by political infighting that stifles collaboration and progress. Frequent changes and reorgs foster instability and uncertainty—I've never seen a company with more employee churn in my career. Over one year alone, my entire team turned over twice, making it nearly impossible to maintain momentum or build trust with our partners. The lack of a cohesive product strategy leads to wasted effort on projects that are abandoned or fail to deliver any impact. Employees are treated as disposable, with layoffs and team transitions handled in a cold, impersonal manner, lacking any genuine consideration or empathy. This atmosphere leaves a portion of employees feeling deeply undervalued, disengaged, and disillusioned.

Verily Response

Thank you for leaving your review. While we're glad to hear that you enjoyed your colleagues and your innovative projects, we're sorry to hear that you had a less positive experience with culture and leadership. There has been a significant level of change at the company this year around Project Flywheel, which we know can be challenging on teams and individuals. No matter what the cause, feeling undervalued at work is unfortunate, and not aligned to our values of 'respecting individuals.' We're sorry to hear that you had this experience, and encourage you to share more of this feedback with us via Verily-PACT@verily.health. We continue to prioritize a positive culture where all employees feel valued, respected and heard. We wish you all the best in your next role and thank you for all you did while you were at Verily.
