Tempus AI reviews

As others have noted, management of the JDA's is a significant flaw within the company. There are a few exceptions of great leadership, but the majority of them have no knowledge of how to manage others and just use their authority at any unnecessary given opportunity. They talk condescending, act unprofessional, and take advantage of their employees. Leadership expects you to work through your lunch everyday, stay late on weeknights, and work through the weekends to meet their unrealistic goal on a regular basis. Despite being told that this is a flexible 9-5 job in the interview, you become constantly told that this is not a 9-5 jobs. To succeed in the JDA role, you will need to be committed to having zero work-life balance while receiving a very mediocre salary. The people who will do that will be blatantly favored over the others. They do not make efforts to help people succeed or improve their skills. Instead they assign unrealistic goals and make you feel as if your job will be threatened if the goal is not met. They do not take into account the fact that there are constant roadblocks that are out of the hands of the JDA's and waiting on action from the operations team or being escalated to another department. They are always sure to make it known that each individual's production is being watched closely, and if we didn't reach our goal we would be spoken to and need to give explanations. They use such tactics to get employees to work more, but they fail to see the environment of worry, stress, and overall unhappiness that they are creating in doing so. There are some really smart and talented people within the company, and HR is really great and seems to be becoming aware of the issues within the JDA department. Hopefully there will be some changes made so that the JDA's can work in a more positive environment since they are such a crucial piece of what Tempus is trying to do.

In terms of the JDA position, unless you intend to pursue a career in data analytics, there are no skills to be gained. You'll be isolated from other departments. You're also expected to work as long as it takes to accomplish goals. Tempus prides itself on being able to accomplish the impossible, and this means working long hours, well past 40 hours per week (50-60 hours). There are no true transferable career skills, as you are not utilizing any form of coding skills with this analyst position. You will be reading through thousands of patient files daily on a computer, so be sure you're accustomed to reading on a computer screen for long periods of time. Management is very disorganized and inexperienced. Most of its members do not come from positions requiring true management skills. They are overshadowed by what leadership demands of them, and have no power to vouch for you if you're targeted for inadequate performance. Expect inconsistent task instructions, followed by reprimands for rules that didn't apply to the analyst role the previous week. The JDAs are treated as though they are stereotypical millennials, often described as 'lazy' and 'entitled'. They are perceived in a very negative light by a large majority of the company, and this is due to their age demographic (primarily recent college graduates). They're actually pretty nice people who work their hardest to achieve team goals, so it was quite sad witnessing the blatant discrimination that’s imposed by senior management. Overall, a combination of discrimination and a lack of true cameradie makes this position a very undesirable one. Only apply for this position if you intend to go back to school in a short period of time, or have intentions to advance your career goal as a data analyst. Just be aware that you will have to utilize your own technical skill if you want to retain any career value from this position. If you want to try to achieve a long term commitment with this company through the JDA position, aim for achieving a promotion as a Data Analyst.
