Pros

great benefits package some supervisors are actually supportive and are a wealth of knowledge

Cons

Starting at Progyny seemed like a dream—patient care advocates actually helping families through fertility journeys? What a concept. That illusion didn’t last long. Instead, it quickly became clear that the company thrives on micromanagement and loves to move the goalposts at every turn. Senior leadership seems more interested in boasting about their “innovative” ideas on LinkedIn than actually staffing the Member and Provider Services department properly. Which, of course, means there’s zero chance of creating any meaningful workflows or actually making things easier for their employees—or the families they supposedly serve. The "contact center" is a revolving door of staff, constantly dealing with 2-year backlogs, and members who are beyond frustrated by the lack of progress on their cases, reimbursements, and authorizations. As for the supervisors and managers? They’re there to dish out solutions like, “Did you try turning it off and on again?” Brilliant.

Pros

- some of middle managers are good but are unfortunately stuck constantly cleaning up the executive teams mess

Cons

- chief of staff more like glorified CEO brown noser - head of product has no idea what’s going on - ultimately the biggest problem here though is there are no consequences: incompetent work doesnt get challenged, competent work doesn’t get rewarded. A select group of favorites can do whatever they want. Even the president who made the most inept judgement calls and had poor management got away with a $20 million golden parachute. Nothing matters unless you are best friends with the CEO. Deliver exceptional work? You’ll get a big THANK YOU! But don’t except a bonus, promotion or salary bump. They really don’t care.
