Incredibly disappointing - Recensione dipendente - Engineer presso Verily

Management is a complete fiasco, limited responsibility for decisions and product vision. Consistent blame given to junior team members who were often not even aware of a specific decision until they are blamed. Obsession with chasing short term profits (e.g. C19) over fixing technical debt and supporting long term products to help differentiate the company from other health technology start ups. Well documented issues such as those articulated in Business Insider and Science press, for the later the CEO suggested that Verily's medical products do not require in-vivo testing, which is utterly laughable. Inability to accept that any outcome is not extremely good and pressure on junior ICs to not present any item that may suggest a product is not perfect. Leading to inability to build distinct useful products for their customers. Bizarre focus on partnership model often sold to partners on immature products - often under supported and poorly delivered. Promotion opportunities are extremely limited. Despite underlying google infrastructure somehow the faculties, strategy, legal, HR are all under supported and overworked.
