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.
