Pros

You get to help people with cancer, but there are dozens of other companies that do the same thing so don't make the mistake of thinking that Tempus is special. Honestly just go work anywhere else.

Cons

Low and I mean LOW pay. I was easily able to find a similar role paying 50% more than what I was making at Tempus. Management is highly resistant to acknowledging the pay issues, so the company is losing talented people left and right. You get a measly 2% COL raise per year, no bonuses, no 401k matching, and no stock options unless you're very high up in the company. Promotions are few and far between, but employees are often asked to fulfill responsibilities of higher positions for months before being promoted. No back compensations is offered, which is wage theft! Tempus boasts unlimited PTO; however, you have to track all of your PTO in an HR tracking software and managers are encouraged to deny PTO when employees have "taken too much" without any clear guidance on what "too much" is. Employees are even denied PTO for family emergencies and illness on the grounds that they have taken too much. If you are on the clinical science team don't expect to have holidays off. Tempus prioritizes new and exciting instead of fixing and expanding on any of the current tools. Management rushes everything which means things are often broken, and fixes are deprioritized so employees are forced to work around the issues for months. Employees are treated as expendable and replaceable, and the prevailing attitude is that you should feel "lucky" to work at Tempus and have your labor exploited by the billionaire CEO. Our team was consistently understaffed but forced to meet ever rising objectives and were forced to work unpaid overtime if we couldn't make it work. Oh and the CEO removed our company wide slack channel after employees voiced their thoughts on Black Lives Matter protests and demanded that the company do more to support social justice causes.

Pros

Tempus is never boring, they choose to solve the world's hardest problems with a cross-functional group of brilliant people. It is fast-paced, challenging, and super fun.

Cons

The importance of the work can sometimes overshadow things like work-life balance, market-rate salaries, etc.

Great mission to work for. Smart people around to inspire you to be better.
