Pros

Strong mission and passionate and smart staff. Ability to work remote.

Cons

Weak senior leadership. Terrible culture that ironically creates mental health issues in staff through poor handling of layoffs, no talent management structure, and pitting of employees against one another rather than building each other up. No merit pay increases. Terrible equity sharing for a startup and company that wants to go public. Benefits have also been slashed over and over in an effort to save money when all you hear from leadership is “we’re super healthy financially”.

Pros

The work is straightforward. The clients are mostly reasonable. I prescribe a lot of stimulants in states where I can prescribe them. The electronic medical record and the resources contained within make it easy enough to do it. A good job at this. They offer the use of an AI scribe to help with documentation. You can be involved as much or as little as you want to in activities beyond direct patient care. Talkiatry chooses to make its money through the use of the psychotherapy add-on code. You're incentivized to spend time talking with your patients, which seems like a win for everyone.

Cons

Figuring out how the performance portion of the pay structure works is challenging and takes several months. You also take a significant hit in taxes because of the the back that the performance portion of your salary is paid as a bonus which is taxed at 30%. This is higher than the base pay tax rate. I'm hopeful that I'll see the significant tax return next April.

Pros

The work is manageable. There's no unreasonable metrics, and the pay is just right for the role.

Cons

Maybe some of the managers who'd like to impress the bosses like you know what I mean.
