Business Outlook

Pros

Most team leads and captains are reasonable, helpful and goal oriented. Dexcom is conscious about ergonomics as an assembler and tries to avoid stress and fatigue in certain stations. Example with screens on the microscopes our eyes are not fatigued by constant focusing and re-focusing vision.

Cons

High turnover of new hires. lack of training and heavy penalization for showing initiative. middle management is aggressive, unprofessional.

Pros

The pay is ok when you are making commission. The benefits are pretty good. A lot of different people so you will definitely make some friends. The product really does great things and you really can and are help people!

Cons

Managment. Their are many areas of opportunity for the leadership team. They make ideas that aren't well tested or planned out and then everyone is required to go with it. They offer no actual coaching outside of telling people that they are non responsive to coaching. Sometimes they will coach you by emailing you about a mistake you made and simply saying what did you do wrong here or if you ask a question you get a response something along the lines of what do you think the answer is. Training is lacking horribly which is confusing considering how many people they have in the training department. Really high turnover rate. HR is a joke if you report an issue they just tell the management team and nothing is ever really done. People are promoted for being a favorite over ability, knowledge, leadership skills and what you do over and above your position.

Pros

Dexcom is a fast paced, intense, rewarding place to work. For anyone looking to gain or hone skills in sales or account management, Dexcom provides a great opportunity. Dexcom's product is incredible. It changes patients' lives. Because of this, the feedback from patients is very uplifting and emotional. Makes everything worth it.

Cons

End of months are hectic when trying to reach quota. Paperwork from insurances can seem endless. The company is growing like crazy so the work never seems to end.....but with that comes opportunity
