      Research Associate Interview

      29 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cepheid in May 2021

      Interview

      It was pretty straightforward based on your resume, and if you have any referrals, help. Asked personality-based/research questions based on experience. At the time, it was phone interviews. The process was two phone interviews, then an on-site interview.

      Question 1

      Describe yourself in three words, research experience, and why Cepheid.

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cepheid

      Interview

      Very straightforward - strong recruiter screen, clear and concise interview process with hiring manager and team, happened over the course of 2 weeks before offer was given. Overall one of the smoothest processes I have been through.
