Pros

Stock benefits used to be really good, so those of us "grandfathered in" make good compensation from them. Portland division has nice new office in a great location. Culture allows for pair-programming. Colleagues are smart and competent. Engineers are usually sent to one conference each year. On Thursdays, engineers meet for "development lunch" where folks present technical ideas. Once a week, many engineers meet up for an informal "technical book club".

Cons

As office grows, culture becomes more corporate. Management makes arbitrary deadlines and expects engineers to work overtime to reach them. In the past, engineers have been made to do a silly amount of regulatory paperwork. There are a fair number of low-value meetings that occur for regulatory reasons. No 401(k) matching. A culture exists where employees are discouraged from working remotely. We were told by management to fill out Glassdoor reviews, but to not spend more than 10 minutes on it.

Pros

It's a job, in this economy at least this company is hiring. Good pot luck, a party at Christmas

Cons

Terrible pay Terrible hours No time off Degrading treatment of 'temp' workers No room for advancement They work people into the ground, even elderly ladies in their 60's and 70's expected to work on their feet 12hrs a day 6 days a week or risk being fired. Upper levels treat 'temps' as disposable and they do not listen to problems, they just want results, if that means never being with family and working for minimum wage then that is this company's priority Forced overtime and weekend work They keep 'temp' workers as temps for years and years to avoid giving them any holidays or decent pay Many coworkers were promised permanent status if they worked 6 days a week 13hrs a day, none were made permanent, they've been working like this for a year now

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry your experience with Dexcom has not been positive. I know that we are converting many current temporary manufacturing employees to full time employees and also hiring additional temporary employees. I hope these efforts improve both your situation and perception of Dexcom.
