Pros

The talent team will sell you on a few pro's: Free health coverage- This is the only true pro. Stock options- Our talent team will dangle this in front of you when they inevitably give you a weaker offer than your asking price. The truth is that these stock options are far from materializing. Ask the right questions "How long do I need to work here until these options vest?" In short, when considering Privia, do not let this change your expectations for compensation. This is a gimmick more than anything. Bonus- The talent team will also tell you that you will be awarded an annual performance-based bonus. They will also say that the bonus can help get you to the salary that you initially mentioned. In reality, leadership encourages employees to set unattainable quarterly objectives which directly tie to your bonus. Again, not a factor that you should take seriously when considering an offer.

Cons

The culture is toxic. In my experience, members of the leadership team simply want bodies in the door for most roles. 90% of the company has busy work while the other 10% talks big ideas to the investors that keep this company afloat. Turnover is astronomical. I have seen many of my coworkers quit due to workplace bullying by members of leadership. This is likely a product of the company being largely led by young people. This seems ideal at first, but in reality it leads to unethical business behavior and leadership with reckless abandon. There is no HR department. We simply have a talent team that seeks to bring more bodies in the door as employees quit. As an employee, I have nowhere to go when I feel as though I am bullied by my managers. This happens because the talent team and leadership team is largely a clique that will not hesitate to fire individuals who seem like a threat. For any physicians reading this, Privia does not have your best interest in mind. You are simply a source of fees for them. Privia seeks out vulnerable doctors who need business help. I have seen many physicians who wish to leave Privia but simply do not have the resources or patience necessary to do so. Read the fine print in your contract, learn about Privia's revenue streams.

We really appreciate your feedback. To address your most serious concern would be the issue of bullying in the workplace and not feeling like you have a place to go. Our HR Team is called "Talent" because we handle all things related to our talented workforce. We are in lock-step with our Legal Team in handling anything related to employee relations, partner policy and handbook questions, issues of bullying in the workplace, and more. If you believe you're being bullied by your manager, please do come forward to a member of the Talent Team to address your issues directly. You may have noticed on your Team calendar that we have company wide Mandatory Non-Harassment Training for our entire employee base in early February. We continue to roll out initiatives to support our employee base as best we can. We are always open to constructive feedback around how we can better serve and support, but it is helpful to have specific context around each and every situation. Please schedule time with a member of the Talent Team to talk specifically about your ideas.
