Human resources is almost totally absent - resulting in employees siloed under managers. Some managers are great, some mediocre, and some are worse. This results in a toxic and dysfunctional environment overall. Top leadership does not take career development or human resources seriously - and Privia hasn't meaningfully invested in either to date. A small "Talent" team purports to represent H/R but lacks the requisite experience and knowledge to manage the many H/R issues that arise in a fast-growing company.
Privia leadership expends time and resources trying to quell genuine Glassdoor reviews by "asking" new or inner-circle leadership to post positive reviews. I say asking with quotes because employees have been brought into the Talent office and accused of posting negative reviews on Glassdoor. Five negative reviews of Privia - 20% of total submissions - have disappeared as of the time of this writing. It is unclear why these genuine reviews have been removed. It is downright scary that a company would resort to these tactics to manipulate its public image.
Turnover is outrageous. I have never seen turnover like this in my career. The company bleeds talent monthly, with fresh faces filling seats but incapable of filling the institutional knowledge that keeps pouring out the doors.
Beware the false front that Privia puts up for doctors and candidates alike. Far too much energy is spent on fluffing up Privia's purported technology capabilities, career opportunities, and its "high performance" culture. In reality, there are very few advancement opportunities available. Unless you are a seasoned industry veteran, do not expect to get promoted or even get a decent bonus at Privia. You are far more likely to quit or be let go. If you're desperate for a job, you might be able to squeeze out a few months before you tear your hair out and run for the doors.
