Pros

Company provides benefits such as "unlimited vacation", Fooda stipend everyday, Snacks provided in the kitchen

Cons

There are numerous cons for this department because of its poor management practices by leadership. As a JDA, you have a manager (lead), they report to a higher up and get instructions from them. In this chain of command, the higher up makes all the decisions that are told to be carried out by the team to do your job. As a JDA you have no respect in this department because the leadership verbally abuses their employees and at meetings use unprofessional language to talk to the JDAs. They even received "leadership training" recently, but it is of no use, since the leads and their boss still do not have a change in their behavior. We have minimum goals of cases to attain each week, and if these are not achieved, you get a warning. After 3 warnings, you are put on a Performance Improvement Plan, and I have seen no one come off of the plan. Basically, once you have three strikes, you are on the road to be fired without any help from your manager to do better. Also, you see in other departments that their managers and employees hang out outside of work or at happy hours at work, while this is far from the truth in this department. This department is such a toxic environment, and while all of this has been reported to HR there are very few changes made. You are not given lots of opportunities to talk to other people in the company unless you go out of your way to reach out to them. Overall, I would not recommend this position to anyone because it is not worth the hard work and no payoff.

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.
