Pros

- This is one of the best jobs I could have envisioned for my self coming out of a graduate program in a computational discipline (computational neuroscience). The work has a similar sense of freedom of investigation and research that I had in my graduate studies, but gives me the additional fulfillment of feeling like I’m part of something bigger than just my narrow research project. At Tempus I’m working in a team of experts towards a common goal. We constantly learn from each other and keep each other up to date on the latest advances in our fields of work, such as machine/deep learning, immunology, and software engineering. We regularly meet with pathologists, radiologists, and other medical professionals to get feedback on our work so that we know we are creating a useful product. - Snack room has an excellent selection. - Comprehensive health and dental insurance options

Cons

- Sometimes a challenging project demands work outside of the 9-5 time slot. But when I know that I’m contributing to a revolution in personalized medicine, I have no problem working over time and weekends. Nobody said this was going to be easy.

Pros

* The short seller report said the executives have a "history of promoting disruptive technology companies, cashing out early, and leaving public shareholders with losses or lackluster returns". Taking this into account as well as other factors, I was able to cash out RSUs at much higher share prices than the stock is currently trading at.

Cons

* The other reviews that mention bullying and verbal or psychological abuse are along the lines of what I saw. In addition, it seems to be a feature and not a bug. In other words, the people in charge seem to believe that people work better when being abused. Instead of using regular means of incentives or motivation like pay or enjoyable work environment, fear of abuse or losing one's job is the main tool of getting others to do work. If you're not at least enabling bullying and abuse, you'll always be on the outside and never trusted. * This company changed its name from Tempus Labs to Tempus AI in what seems to be a big grift. The stock jumped for a bit because Nancy Pelosi bought the stock (yay corruption). The engineering is a joke and often engineers have their performance judged by non technical managers who joined some lab company called Tempus Labs years ago. In all fairness, the people often in charge of engineering decisions didn't join a tech company so they're setup to fail.
