Pros

Competitive pay, some managers allow you to work hybrid even though the company wants us fully on site

Cons

Corporate workflows don’t translate well when you are in biotech. Performance reviews are tedious and the process changes every year but are pointless because they end up being averaged out such that the department has a specific average rating.

Pros

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

Cons

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