Pros

It's one of the only genomics companies in Chicago. The office was quite nice. Overall it's a fine place to work, especially if you want to stay in the area. There is unlimited PTO.

Cons

The hours can be quite long and turnover is pretty high. Issues scaling to meet demand

Pros

Generally provides job security, but when management decides to dislike someone, they will randomly disappear

Cons

- Weak managers, specifically in the genomics product organization. Over multiple years this product 'leader' was unable to improve roadmap and product processes within their organization despite having over 5 years of tenure at the company. Management is largely ineffective and will allocate resources on the incorrect priorities, where employees will work on something they believe is a priority for over 6 months and then the priorities change. - Favoritism and unprofessional managers - over the course of 3 years I watched multiple promotions based on favoritism and not merit based promotions. -Tempus AI does not look out for their employees - their typical merit based increase is 1-3% a year (what is that when inflation has been 10%/year the past several years?), and there isn't 401K match. The health plan dedutcables have gone up significantly over 3 years
