Pros

The health insurance is great and the unlimited PTO combined with free onsite cafe almost makes this place worth it.

Cons

Expectations are highly unrealistic especially considering that much of the company's employees are recent grads that don't have the experience of senior level employees yet are expected to perform on par with little to no training and with a quarter of the pay. Management is full of deceptive, power-hungry, narcissistic individuals that only care about themselves looking good and not about the long term successes of their teams. Environment is chaotic and extremely toxic. Interactions are unprofessional and veer into bullying territory. Nothing gets done in a timely manner because there's too many big egos that hold back progress on projects leading to tight deadlines and late nights/weekends without the promise of a raise in pay. Career growth is non-existent unless you give up your personal life and work 24/7 to cater to their every whim. Cherry on top is no 401K matching. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for opportunities.

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.
