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.

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