Pros

-Your job matters. Everyone's work at Tempus impacts patient care on a daily basis. -You will work with the smartest, most driven people out there, with a diverse set of backgrounds -Sky's the limit. No one is going to tell you "that's not your job" or slap your hand if you try and solve for an inefficiency -You get what you put in- it is not easy work, but it is rewarding work

Cons

-There are no right or wrong answers to many of the problems the company faces day-to-day. You have to be willing to get your hands dirty and figure it out along the way, making inevitable missteps -There is generally too much to do and too little time to do it

Collaborative Environment Working Towards a Common Goal

Pros

The potential for learning and growth here is unparalleled. It is a fast-paced environment full of a lot of brilliant people. I've been here for about 3 months, and have learned so much. You really can create your own opportunities here with hard work and connecting with other team members. I've worked at quite a few different startups, and Tempus is unique in that the teams are so much more cross functional. Team members are very open about sharing what they're working on/wins for the week/challenges/etc. Having labs on-site is a really cool feature. It reminds us all what we're working towards, and that our day-to-day affects real patients. Some other perks include fun cultural activities like themed Friday happy hours, volunteer initiatives, ping pong table, snacks, etc.

Cons

The fast-paced environment can feel overwhelming at times, and that sort of environment isn't for everyone. Being that its a startup, processes change a lot, so you have to be okay with that. The learning is very hands on, and you have to be comfortable asking for help if you need it.

Pros

- Opportunities to learn a lot in a short period of time - High quality output

Cons

- Disorganized onboarding process with lack of support from management - Given very short amount of time to learn products and master processes - Certain employees in management positions exhibit poor leadership skills such as low empathy and refusal to engage in constructive upward feedback, despite regularly handing down criticism to reports - Feedback is not clear: often given contradictory instructions - Rigid guidelines: no room for different working styles - Stressful work environment: small missteps are amplified to large failings rather than opportunities for growth
