Pros

industry leading vision, technology and desire. i would not dissuade anyone from working here as long as they walk in with their eyes open to the shortcomings of the company. to be fair, Tempus has now hired some really top talent and i expect to see them on the right track in short order.

Cons

when Tempus began they had a great vision but upper management had little experience in the medical lab space, which lead to organizational mistakes. the technology and accuracy of the results from the lab were never in question, but the strategies showed a lack of experience and the places they chose to cut corners to save money will ultimately cost them industry respect and market share. the pay is low for the caliber of people they hired, and the benefits package is startup grade, not like you'd see in a mature company in the lab space.

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.
