Pros

In office barista and snacks; typical of any start up company or tech in general

Cons

Horrible management where people play favorites, do not listen to the tech's concerns about the lab environment, have inconsistent policies and enforcement, do not actually care about their subordinates, and do the bare minimum of the title "supervisor." The work culture here is also terrible and has cultivated a culture where snitching gets you places and people who actually do their work and get along with people frequently get in trouble. The work itself is monotonous and you will not gain any relevant scientific experience here. Incredibly poor employee retention and lab personnel are barely treated as humans with emotions, both by management and administration. Terrible PTO and sick time policy for lab employees. No 401k matching.

Pros

The people are all fantastic. With a company so big, you'd expect to have some bad apples in the bunch, but I just have not come across any. People all treat each other kindly and respectfully. The Chicago office has an unbeatable culture.

Cons

Tempus does not do 401k matching.

Pros

- Opportunities to learn a lot in a short period of time - High quality output

Cons

- Disorganized onboarding process with lack of support from management - Given very short amount of time to learn products and master processes - Certain employees in management positions exhibit poor leadership skills such as low empathy and refusal to engage in constructive upward feedback, despite regularly handing down criticism to reports - Feedback is not clear: often given contradictory instructions - Rigid guidelines: no room for different working styles - Stressful work environment: small missteps are amplified to large failings rather than opportunities for growth
