Pros

Successful legacy tests helping millions of infected patients worldwide

Cons

Undeserved, crazy number of VP promotions make the company top heavy. MExecutive team has been unable to invent new direction/product line, for the last few years, hence the only thing they are good at is non-stop reorgs/ workforce reductions. Sad to see Cepheid to be reduced to a sustainment company only, without holding responsible the ones who let this failure happen.
