Pros
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to work for Donald Trump, you’ll get a similar experience working at pMD. The leadership team and particularly the CEO & founder, Philippe d’Offay, are the real problem. They will always, without a doubt, put the priorities of the company over the people. Philippe surrounds himself with loyalists and sycophants, and there is no place for criticism or different ideas. They mask much of this with happy hours, prizes, and the narrative that you’re changing healthcare in the US. But it comes at a price - there is no psychological safety, they use cult-like tactics to get you to work long hours, and unless you’re on the leadership team you’re a pawn in their game. The company is eerily similar to a cult, and I truly don’t think Philippe would see that as an insult.
Of course it’s not all bad - I’ve made some good friends at the company and the experience working directly with doctors is rewarding. But it’s simply not worth sacrificing your sanity to gain work friends and health tech experience. There are plenty of other great health tech companies in the Bay Area that have honest leadership and good perks.
An important note if you’re reading this: the reviews on this page are NOT honest. The leadership team has an obsession with forcing everyone in the company to write positive reviews. If you include something negative about the company, they will track you down by process of elimination. It’s terrifying. Just look at all the Cons from the reviews - they all say the same thing.
This is my honest review. I you’re considering a role at pMD - as an engineer, account executive, operations, or marketing, I sincerely hope you do your due diligence and strongly consider working for a different company.
