What the Data Says About Cepheid
Cepheid operating in CA within the Manufacturing sector: the company has filed 63 H-1B labor condition applications, of which 60 disclose a usable wage figure with a median of $145,624. Records here combine U.S. Department of Labor disclosures and state workforce agency filings.
On workplace safety, Cepheid posted a DART (Days Away, Restricted, Transferred) rate of 2.10 injuries per 100 full-time workers, compared with the hours-weighted average of 0.77 for the same 2-digit NAICS sector in OSHA ITA 2022–2023 filings. Our composite grade of "F" is that employer-to-sector ratio (A ≤0.5× sector · B ≤0.8× · C ≤1.2× · D ≤1.8× · else F), so a job seeker can compare a hospital chain to a warehouse or a bank to a food processor without chasing down OSHA formulas. Across all years on file, OSHA logged 63 reportable injuries at this employer.
49 WARN Act notices affecting 2,530 workers have been filed against Cepheid in CA. Multiple notices can mean consolidations or broader restructuring; weigh them next to this employer's pay and safety signals, and the employer's own disclosures, when judging an offer.
Cepheid is one of the rarer profiles that carries both sponsorship volume (63 H-1B LCAs) and WARN history (49 notices) in the same public record for Manufacturing in CA. Weigh those two signals separately before treating either as the whole story.

What to check before working with Cepheid
Cepheid needs a three-way read: H-1B pay (63 LCAs), safety (grade F), and WARN history (49 notices); none of those alone is the rating.
- H-1B median is $145,624 across 60 disclosed-wage positions (of 63 total filings), benchmark any offer against it and the metro prevailing wage. Compare with peers
- Safety grade F reflects a DART rate read against the Manufacturing average of 0.77 - a relative benchmark, not an absolute verdict. How grades work
- 49 WARN layoff notices on file, review the timing before counting on job stability. Reading WARN notices
Cepheid's figures are legally filed public records (DOL, OSHA, state WARN), not reviews or vendor estimates; a missing row is not proof the underlying activity never happened.
