I got my Pixel 2 yesterday and have noticed the led light never turns on. I have blink light toggled to on, but I don't get a light with notifications or even when charging. Am I missing a setting somewhere or is my light most likely defective?

That was my first thought. Mine works with always on enabled.I wonder if the always on display option interferes with the LED? Try turning that off.
I have a question, is the LED in the Pixel 2 a multicolored LED like in the OG Pixel?
I exchanged my Pixel 2 at the Verizon store and the led on the new phone also doesn't work (as an FYI, the light worked on the display phone - it was white). We did all the trouble shooting steps again with no luck and then contacted Google. I did a screen share with Google and they verified all the settings are correct. The only thing she noted is a security patch was released on October 5 and my phone's was from September 5 and showing up to date. I called Verizon tech support and they haven't pushed the October patch through and had no info/eta.
I'm glad to read Google knows this is an issue. Hopefully they have a fix soon, especially if it really is affecting 50% of Pixel 2s.
Yes; using Light Manager app, I can get several different color notifications out of it.

PS: I should add, I am testing using a Pixel 2 XL; cannot speak for the non-XL version.
