Pros

Dexcom has created excellent technology that provides significant benefits to patients with diabetes, and this is a plus If you are motivated by mission or the potential for impact, The team includes a number of very smart and exceptional people.

Cons

Decision making is political. While this is not uncommon, it has been exacerbated by the company's performance in the stock market such that personal interests influence outcomes. The pace that the company can bring innovations to market is limited because its devices are class III medical devices regulated by the FDA.

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.
