Pros

Great scientific leadership with Dr. Persing and many others. The culture is focused on execution and the product is well liked by customers.

Cons

There is a pretty obvious bias against women. For example, in 2016 there was almost 100% turnover in Marketing. 3 men were hired in at Sr. Director level and 2 women hired in at Director level. For the 3 plus years at Cepheid there was a clear pattern of men getting promoted over more qualified women.

Lovely people all trying to do the right thing.

No real collaboration at the senior level. Vision is not clear, and not always aligned. Inconsistent decision making.
