claim to pride themselves on transparency....but...... - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso The Public Good Projects

great start up, good footing in the industry

none that come to my head

Coworkers were generally very easy to work with and interested in contributing to the field of public health. PTO culture was healthy. Infodemiology is very cool and PGP has interesting clients ranging from small health departments to international powerhouses. P.S. I am pretty sure the maternity leave is an opt-in short-term disability policy that covers 50%-60% pay. You should ask about specifics if this is important to you!

This review is for people who reach out to me on LinkedIn about PGP. I do not recommend working here but your mileage may vary. In my case, I had significant problems with employee benefits and equipment which made it hard to picture my future here. I put up with it for about four months and then quit the day after the HR Manager quit. Some specific examples: - did not get a single 401k employee match on any of my 7 paychecks - had a medical emergency and could not bill health insurance for it because my info was not filed correctly (still dealing with the fallout from this UGH) - could not get a computer with more than 8G RAM! As an analyst working with big data! Others seemed fine working on their personal computers but to me this was a red flag and probably my breaking point. I would also say the computer thing is not just about the computer - there's a general lack of technical literacy across the organization, and a weird sense of dismissiveness the higher up you go. If you have a strong quant or programming background, you will need some strong self-advocacy skills to carve out a space here.
