Pros

This company is doing great things as a medical device coampany. Everyone that I worked with so far loves this comapany and loves working with everyone around them. I came from another medical devise comapany and Dexcom is really on top of there game for being as larges and how fast they have grown. I would highyly recomend you to consider Dexcom as your next employer.

Cons

I dont have nothing bad to say about the company, but there is a couple things I wish would change or managment look into. Issue 1-I wish they did a job market review because everyone on my team is under paid to what some of these other companies are paying around this area. There been a few candidates that turned down the job offer because its less then they are making now. Issue 2- They offer really good benefits here for the most part. The only one I wish they would look to revise is the 401k. As of now Dexcom doest match anything at all. They just have a 401k plan that they take out pre-tax dollars.

Pros

Visionary, open-minded, responsive executive leadership. Great talent and passion in R&D and related work, and very collaborative environment. Good benefits and employee stock program. And the products are industry-leading and life-changing for people with diabetes and their care teams. Oh, and unlimited free coffee!

Cons

Competitive fast-moving industry, so sometimes the work is pretty demanding – but manageable. And there are the typical growing pains that are experienced by any company that is scaling up quickly in response to success in the market. And there are some jerks that work here (few and far between), but show me a group of 1300+ people where there aren't jerks. You have to learn how to coexist with such people as a fact of life.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your review on Dexcom. We definitely hear the employee feedback on communication very clearly and as a company we should all be working to improve collaboration between different departments and functions.

Pros

Dexcom's product pipeline is exciting and its impact on the diabetes community is profound. The company is going through a phase change as it continues to rapidly expand the market for continuous glucose monitoring. If you truly care about the product that your company makes and how it changes lives, Dexcom could be great for you.

Cons

Due to the rapid expansion there are the usual issues around parking, facilities, etc. but they are fairly minor if you keep an open mind (and get in early). If you aren't good with change and find it tough to do your best work in a sometimes hectic environment, Dexcom might be difficult for you.
