Pros
Remote, flexible work environment Decent pay (for my department, though I know other departments were paid WELL below market value) Many kind coworkers with a real passion for healthcare equity
Cons
Misuse of funds - for example, just a few months before first round of layoffs, management spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly everyone to CA in what turned out to be a COVID superspreader event where we were locked in windowless rooms for days hearing their typical insane startup culture rhetoric. No one cares about fresh flowers in a healthcare office or terrazo check-in desks if the actual care they're getting isn't top notch. Abusive managers and no room for growth - Our team leader was cruel and chaotic and fostered a culture of backstabbing and callout-culture. Sometimes it feels like the only way to get ahead at Tia (unless you went to #Cornell and are BFF with the founders!) is to make others look bad, and people totally do it. It completely comes from the top-down. I repeatedly requested constructive feedback and growth path and was never given anything clear. They claim that's because #startupculture but then use that as basis to keep you from advancing or getting a raise when we were all absolutely busting our butts and doing great work. HR does nothing to help. Everything folks are saying about empty promises and virtue-signaling is completely true. Do not work for this company! The way they are treating their employees should demonstrate that they don't know how to care for the well-being of patients. Internal values should match external values, and for Tia, it couldn't be more different.
