Pros

• Low barrier to entry • Work is not too hard • Great for students and recent graduates • Well accommodating for those with limited English

Cons

• Constant layoffs, mass hiring, opening/closing locations • Many associates are aggressive and constantly worried about losing their jobs • No long-term goals. Senior management makes decisions based on short-term situations • Dishonestly throughout the hiring process. The recruiters promise quick contract-to-permanent, just to get hired and learn that Cepheid doesn’t offer it • Lack of diversity. Almost everyone is either Filipino or Vietmeanse • Too much favoritism • No career growth opportunities • Lots of gossiping

Decent Comp for a Biotech, Okay WLB, Product is decent and good mission

Layoffs pretty much every quarter. Most of the good folks have left. The parent company makes decisions that directly impact associates at Cepheid
