Pros

Paid on-time bi-weekly and expense reports are paid quickly

Cons

Company acts like a start-up but isn’t one at all. Working with other departments is beyond stressful. It’s like every department for themself and no one really wants to help anyone else. Most managers are incompetent and are in so many meetings that they are so far removed. Most people are not held accountable for their actions, there are sooooo many slackers and no one seems to care. Barely any room for growth unless you want to relocate to California. PTO sucks. Lots of options for health insurance but their all relatively the same and not the greatest

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
