Pros

Ceo gives lots of information, sometimes too much. Funding seems ok at the moment. Most colleagues seem nice and easy to talk to.

Cons

There is no long term planning or vision. Everyone is just busy putting out fire. Company's current profit margin is too thin and management wants to enter digital health to boost profits. However no one in management really understand digital health. The company wants to go IPO this year- not sure how that's going to happen. Also agree with other comments that people have inflated titles. This company is really top-heavy. Recently even hired a chief people officer! However there is no appreciation of existing employees, when they hire a new person who wants an existing employee's title, they either demote the existing employee or gives the new person an even fancier title. This may contribute to the high turnover of employees.

The *investor* is at the center of everything we do.

Pros

There are some good people here, including CEO, but much of the power lies with the investors and they drive the agenda (likely trying to make back their failed investment on Eeva). Also, and this may or may not be a 'Pro' depending on your POV, but Progyny is not really a tech startup. It's a healthcare services company and that leads to a more mature group of employees. Not some many 20 or 30 somethings running around running the place with no experience. They do pay well, but the options are incredibly dilute at this point so make sure you aren't betting on those.

Cons

Progyny has a real value proposition, but it is long term (like 5 years), and the investors are pushing for IPO in under a year. That creates some really distorted incentives internally. (Fake it till you make it should be company slogan). Management doesn't seem to have a clear vision of the product, just an understanding that there is a problem in fertility treatment (true) and that the marketplace for fertility services is upper income professionals willing to pay for anything that will help them procreate (also true). Too much turnover and too little support for existing employees as well as others have mentioned.

Pros

There were some snacks in the kitchen.

Cons

What a mess. I'm not sure where to begin. Bad management, bad team members, bad company. Run away as fast as you can.
