Pros

The company is mission driven, and is making a positive impact in the Cancer Realm. The location is great, and the CEO is very passionate about his work.

Cons

Tempus has young, unexperienced professionals, in management positions. There is no accountability, as there is no organizational chart to keep people in check. Managers have the ability to do whatever they want, which means you get stuck with work that may not even be in the realm of what you were hired on to do. Expect to work late nights and weekends. The company itself is a mess, and HIPAA violations are occurring left and right. I think you can make the best out of any situation in most cases, however working here was awful. Happiness vs. suffering.... Don't let the mission and the free snacks full you, this is a horrible place to work.

Pros

As mentioned work is great since it is cancer research and my coworkers are amazing. Immediate leadership managers and Sr. managers are good as well but somewhat unorganised. Work life balance is good also and health insurance as long as you get BCBS PPO with copay otherwise you're screwed paying off deductible.

Cons

Pay is below industry average, and there is essentially no room to negotiate a better raise. Employees are actively discouraged from discussing compensation, and whatever leadership decides is final, there are no exceptions. If you try to escalate concerns or request a conversation with senior leadership, such as a senior director or VP, you’ll quickly find yourself getting the runaround. Leadership prefers to hide behind layers of management rather than engage directly. There is also no clear or transparent path for career advancement. Opportunities technically exist, but they are extremely limited. You can do everything right, receive a top rating of 5 on your annual performance review, and still not be promoted to manager or see any meaningful improvement in compensation. To make matters worse, the billionaire CEO and founder has said things like, “Don’t worry about pay because we’re curing cancer.” Statements like that feel incredibly out of touch when employees are earning $50k–$60k a year and receiving annual raises of only about $2,000. On top of that, equity is almost impossible to obtain. You have to fight for even the possibility of it, because stock or equity compensation is reserved almost exclusively for the C-suite and directors, with virtually nothing available for employees below that level.
