Pros

Excellent benefits and compensation package. Growing industry and many opportunities for personal growth. Mature stable company. Energetic young professionals.

Cons

Parking needs to be resolved, need better planning. Sometimes the environment feels bureaucratic and it is difficult to get things done. Need better cross functional teams, problems should be resolved between team members and should not always be elevated to management.

Some depts are better than others

Pros

The product is great, and the company's growth is fast-paced. In certain depts and circumstances, this means there is a lot of opportunity to find your passion and get ahead.

Cons

Dexcom salaries and wages on the whole are below market value. HR told me as much when I negotiated my current wage. Sales, Tech Support, and QA for the most part have incompetent leadership that cover up their shortcomings by hiring and promoting friends and driving out any talent, intellect, or experience that may have accidentally slipped in. I repeatedly see hourly workers who can't do as good of a job as they'd like because they are held back by their Supervisor or Manager. When I was first hired here, a coworker told me "Get everything they tell you in writing. They'll change the rules without telling you and blame you for following the rules that they did tell you." Facilities upper management has an outright contempt for anyone below manager level. I've heard them browbeat people and make threats countless times, publicly shaming people for not making the coworker they just had lunch with swipe their badge when entering. They also send company-wide emails when someone parks poorly.

Pros

There is plenty of room for growth with in the company. Dexcom is the best in the CGM industry. There is constant change which, depending on your personality, could be good. You have to be a flexible person. They do provide you with free lunch once a month, hold fun events a

Cons

The turn over rate in the sales department is incredible, the most I have ever seen in any company. The sales management team does not keep their word when it comes to incentives it could take months before you get what was promised. The down side of the constant change is the your commission structure changes sometimes not for the good. Even if you get promoted that doesn't mean you get a raise. The pay rate is not good for those living in San Diego, it is hard to live off of the wage they offer especially when commission can be so low. The morale gets lower and lower the more people leave. It's sad that a company this successful does nothing to retain great employees. They have even said that they are ready to lose employees.
