Pros

I have experienced a great team environment where my opinion matters. I have a great management team and look forward to my work day.

Cons

We are adding a lot of people so just going through some growing pains. There is room for some improvement in communication between departments.

Pros

-Benefits are 'OK' for the valley: 3 weeks off, healthcare is good and cost to employees is cheap, employee stock options are provided.

Cons

-Middle mangers at the company are poorly trained. They don't know how to manage people and can be very political. -They don't promote / develop from within; they would rather hire someone off the street. -Pay less than other comparable companies. -People aren't very social. Everyone goes to work and then goes home. Most people have families that work here. -CEO is extremely cheap hence why the pay is less than comparable companies.

Pros

Exciting products Work and life balance Flexible hours Shutdown over Christmas

Cons

I worked at Cepheid for six years and was not given an opportunities to growth. No career progression at all. The management plays favorite and don't put proper people in the proper place. I was better than many MEs they have but was forced to move to a bad group that eventually led to my dismissal. The HR is incompetent and has poor review system that led managers put bogus review goals. They have weak quality system and product quality is often compromised when a product is rushed to the market.
