Making a difference in patient care

Pros

The mission of Tempus is noble and each day is a step towards improving patient care. People work here because they want to make a difference for current and future cancer survivors! The work environment is friendly and everyone pushes to make a difference and improve the space. Despite having grown to 300+ people, it still has a start-up work environment. This means anyone who is a self-starter can make a difference. If you identify a problem, you can come up with a solution, present it and it's very possible that it will be utilized. It's not very hierarchal, which means everyone can have a voice and implement change. Amazing co-workers who push you to do your absolute best. No clear career ladder, which can be both a good and a bad thing. Good: you can move into different spaces/positions relatively seamlessly if you fill a need. Bad: you have to be an active participant and promotions aren't just assumed. Unlimited PTO. If you're driven, focused, smart, and don't mind long hours, you'll succeed at Tempus.

Cons

The biggest downside is the lack of work/life balance. There's always more work to be done and a culture of constant "emergency mode" to build/fix something. This is gratifying, knowing you make a difference, but can be exhausting. A self-inflicted culture of not feeling comfortable to take a lot of time off, despite unlimited PTO. No 401K match.

Pros

You can apply your skills to learn about important problems to then be in a team that improves cancer patient treatments.

Cons

The hours are longer than the expectations that they say in your interview, and you don't get paid overtime but are expected to stay late nights often. The environment is isolating and you don't get trained, your just expected to know everything coming in the door. Nobody cares about advancing in your career, just put your head down and work on the same kinds of tasks over and over.

Pros

Great company purpose and benefits were okay

Cons

There is an expectation of 50-60 hour work weeks despite what you are told about "work-life balance" . Everyone is heads down without much interaction. The place is very unwelcoming . The technology management folks are distant, make poor choices, and keep their employees in the dark. Nobody there is interested in your career goals. Stay away...there are plenty of other tech companies in Chicago!
