Pros

Perks such as free coffee and snacks (although the snacks have recently been diminished). Used to have reasonably priced lunch options (recently replaced with expensive and poorly managed cafeteria). You'll meet wonderful co-workers outside of upper management.

Cons

All the reviews you've seen about the Junior Data Analyst role, and similar roles attempting to attract young graduates is 100% true. Distinct lack of respect from management, and despite some fairly recent changes to the department, you are still treated as a child and are held to an archaic standard that is designed by business people looking to make money, who know absolutely nothing about clinical data or healthcare. Open office space is loud, and you'll get to watch departments who are paid better than you come in hours late, leave early (while you have to stay past 6 or 7pm on a regular basis to "meet quota"). Each department is ran incredibly differently, and the entire operation is very disorganized. CEO regularly talks about how much new money he's brought into the company but still no word of matching 401K or providing paid maternity leave or vacation (the unlimited vacation policy is a lie and a ruse to not pay out unused vacation days when employees turnover). Absolutely no true advancement for JDAs or entry-level positions in this company - you'll maybe get a $1000 raise after a year, regardless of whether you were a top performer in the role or had additional responsibilities. If you're truly lucky, you might get made a DA, where you'll get more responsibility without additional pay.

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.
