Tia Reviews

Misuse of funds - for example, just a few months before first round of layoffs, management spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly everyone to CA in what turned out to be a COVID superspreader event where we were locked in windowless rooms for days hearing their typical insane startup culture rhetoric. No one cares about fresh flowers in a healthcare office or terrazo check-in desks if the actual care they're getting isn't top notch. Abusive managers and no room for growth - Our team leader was cruel and chaotic and fostered a culture of backstabbing and callout-culture. Sometimes it feels like the only way to get ahead at Tia (unless you went to #Cornell and are BFF with the founders!) is to make others look bad, and people totally do it. It completely comes from the top-down. I repeatedly requested constructive feedback and growth path and was never given anything clear. They claim that's because #startupculture but then use that as basis to keep you from advancing or getting a raise when we were all absolutely busting our butts and doing great work. HR does nothing to help. Everything folks are saying about empty promises and virtue-signaling is completely true. Do not work for this company! The way they are treating their employees should demonstrate that they don't know how to care for the well-being of patients. Internal values should match external values, and for Tia, it couldn't be more different.

This company lures you in with their trendy aesthetic and false promises. When you try to advocate for yourself or your team, your concerns will be explained away and shushed. Mistakes are made constantly, but people do not own up to them. In-clinic teams are often the scape goats for corporate mistakes. You will be criticized thoroughly on Slack if a misstep is realized, and can expect multiple people to give you feedback on the same matter, even when they do not work directly with you or are not your direct report. The leadership demonstrates pseudo-transparency that in the beginning you might be persuaded to think is genuine. But changes take place behind the curtain that disadvantage employees (particularly in-clinic or care team), and only contribute to profit. Don't believe the unlimited PTO or stock options in their postings. They give 80 hours per year accrued each pay period, and fail to follow up on stock options once you are hired. This culture is exhausting in its attempt to be feminist and "woke". When honest feedback is given about the culture, founders will play the victim card of being "misunderstood" despite their "good intentions" and "investments in DEI." Social media is performative allyship at best. POC are absent in leadership despite founders "trying their best" to diversify hires. Also disappointing that a company that talks so much about female sexual health has no internal group for LGBTQ+ employees, and does not discuss the topic internally beyond one (new) training on pronouns.
