Google’s Verily Headcount Doubled In 2 Years To 500 Employees, But Will It Continue To Be Profitable?

Alphabet’s life sciences company Verily more than doubled its headcount over the last year and a half, an executive who recently left the company said.

“Verily is a big company,” Dr. Thomas Insel, a neuroscientist who joined the firm in December of 2015 to lead its mental health research and development efforts, told Recode. “When I got there it was under 200 people.”

He estimated current headcount was around 700. Verily confirmed its current headcount is actually 500.
