Intelligent Coworkers, terrible culture - Lab Staff Tempus AI Employee Review

There are two separate worlds at Tempus. "Lab Tempus" (essential employees) and "Office Tempus" (those who work from home). My entire review is based on the Tempus lab side. I have no idea what goes on in the other part, as there's no cohesiveness between the two, not before co-vid, and certainly not now. -Non-competitive pay -No 401k match (this should be a red flag on lack of investing in employee's futures in a company that has an $8 billion valuation) -No tuition reimbursement opportunities -Terrible health plans for a wealthy healthcare company -No professional development plans/encouragement for entry levels -Highly reactive, not proactive company. I can't stress this enough. -No one-year anniversary review by your manager or anyone else (highly unprofessional) -If you're looking for a warm fuzzy workplace where management cares about your wellbeing, this place is not for you. It's a colorless, micromanaging, sterile, cold environment perpetuated by hostility from management. -No work/life balance. Expect to be hired on for one role, and then trained for your role and three different other roles, in three other departments without extra pay. They will work you until you are forced to set hard boundaries. -By far and large, what Tempus fails at miserably is the company culture, in particular towards lab staff. Remembering that this is an incredibly wealthy biotech company, I'll share the following. At the beginning of the pandemic, when little was known about Covid-19, lab staff were deemed, essential employees. In addition to Co-vid 19, we were traveling through riots and past military tanks to get to work. We were squeezed into a tiny lab space 35+ in a small room, with a highly reactive plan to only switch to reducing staff in the lab once someone caught Co-vid. Once someone caught co-vid and spread it around their team, only then did they start spacing staff out/reducing staff. We had to protest for hazard pay for a month, before finally receiving it, and then it was ripped away two months later. During this chaos, we received a pleasant speech (sarcasm) from the CEO on a screen while he worked from home. He told the entire lab staff to stop being "distracted" by the riots and that if we don't like it, then we can leave the company. I really wish I was making this up. He apologized a few days later, finally instated hazard pay and a donation fund, but it didn't make up for the way it made us feel that day. Several people quit on the spot who could financially do so, engineers/lab staff, etc. Several people said they were looking for other jobs and were fired in the following days. I'll never forget the dehumanization Tempus made myself and my peers feel that day and over the course of those early months.
