      Engineer Interview

      Jan 23, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Sunnyvale, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cepheid (Sunnyvale, CA) in Dec 2020

      Interview

      The process included a phone screen, hiring manager interview, and 5 back to back video interviews (interviewed during Covid). The person coordinating the interviews was from an outside company. The team was friendly and overall seems like the employees care about what they do there at Cepheid. The interviews seemed pretty standard and talked a lot about what was on my resume. I was really excited to hear back about this opportunity but was ghosted. I saw the job posting relisted the week following my interview, but didn't get any communication from Cepheid. I had to follow up to find that the hiring manager, "moved in a different direction". Although I was rejected, I still think they would be a worthwhile company to work for and overall, the experience was still enjoyable and a positive learning opportunity.

      Engineer Interview

      Dec 24, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Sunnyvale, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cepheid (Sunnyvale, CA) in Oct 2019

      Interview

      The interview process began with a recruiter interview, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. After passing those levels I was given an on-site interview with managers and peers. There was a minor hiccup, but nothing major.
