Nice company, but an absolute hot mess

Pros

Location is AMAZING. Office is a super cool space. Colleagues are brilliant. Could not have a better mission.

Cons

As everyone here correctly notes, managment at this company is atrocious. Obne of the reasons for it being so atrocious is that there is just so much of it. 3% of this company are "vice-presidents" or "Directors." On the org chart, some of these directors don't even have any direct reports, and their mandate is unclear at best. This leads to a bunch of useless managers who trying to create a justification for themselves by constantly poaching territory and responsibilities from each other. Its a disaster. It also seems to be an intentional policy to hire bright-eyed idealists straight out of college, take advantage of their good natures to wring as many labor units out of them as possible, then discard the dessicated husk after 1 year. It happens for junior positions both on the lab and data sides and can't be a coincidence.

Pros

-The mission of the company is noble -There is a barista on site -there are smart, dedicated, capable employees

Cons

-Tempus does not care about you as a person at all. They only care about productivity. If you say there is too much work, the response is “everyone has too much work” -Tempus does not care about diversity and inclusion. This has been made abundantly clear in recent weeks -There is no focus on career development. You won’t receive recognition for good work and there’s no clear way to get a promotion, but Tempus is quick to provide negative feedback or fire staff for poor work rather than providing help. The way to be most successful is to either have personal connections with upper leadership, be hired in at a high level, or be one of the original tempus leadership members. Your outside experience and work done on the job don’t seem to mean much if you’re hired in at a lower level position -little to no formal training, but people are quick to blame staff rather than realizing there may be an inherent training problem -there is little to no management training so if you have a bad manager, it won’t get better. Voicing concerns about your manager to upper leadership won’t do anything since people development is very low on the priority list. -no 401k match or bonuses (at least for non management positions). Tempus would rather spend money on things that make the company look “cool” over giving employees better benefits or salaries -Leadership doesn’t listen to subject experts -Speed is always prioritized over quality. Tempus cares more about how they are perceived externally than the actual quality of work produced. -Priorities shift extremely quickly, but you will be expected to finish whatever else you were working on even if a new, time-consuming and higher priority assignment has been given to you
