Pros

-Smart coworkers -WFH opportunities for special occasion, but discouraged -Decent initial salary for being fresh out of college -Environment is not as toxic now (no more getting screamed at and being called stupid weekly)

Cons

-Easy to get in, hard to rise up -2% raise, no real promotion -Not great for real analytical experience (more like data entry) -Micromanagement -No seniority for when you interview for another position -Managers are not genuine -Not used up to your potential -After 6-12 months, you lose all motivation to continue -No one cares about quality of work, it's all about numbers -Seems like a lot of people across the board look down on JDAs -The whole team of JDAS left or got let go..that's about 100 people -This environment was really detrimental to physical and mental health (working 60+ hours on cases, not including breaks, and being told that your goal for the week will not be changed because it is just not their priority) With horrible managers, you lose all motivation and then learn to be lackey without getting in trouble. I used to come in early and stay late because I cared and towards the end I could barely make it in on time and focus on my goal. The sad part is that I have always felt that Tempus would not care if I got cancer even though this is a biotech company focused on cancer. Even after being loyal to Tempus for so long, I never felt job security.

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.
