Pros

Dexcom is an amazing place to work at - the people, the company values, the mission are all important forces in the current world, advancing into a new, dependable age of technology. The pay is certainly well in terms of stability, and includes plenty of overtime opportunity for those who want to work extra hours. I have worked here for over a year now, and am extremely grateful to be apart of this company. Being able to connect with individuals who serve a higher purpose than themselves is key here - there are always new tasks and plenty of work on a daily basis, as the company is growing, along with our order of operations. Simply put, the more you increase your own personal value and display a willingness to work, the more opportunity is presented to you - the company is lucrative with their pay increases and bonuses as you think and act in this manner. The environment is very professional and people are friendly.

Cons

If you are not a motivated individual, don't work well on a team, refuse to display kindness or interact well with people, or work toward a bigger mission beyond you- don't work here, you will find it difficult to work in physical and mental isolation. This place is meant for people who can think beyond their own personal income, will show up to work today for the purpose of advancing in medical technology and building devices, to assist patients in monitoring their glucose levels.

Thank you for helping people outside of Dexcom understand what it is like to work here. I appreciate your thoughts on the environment and what it takes to excel here. I also think that your advice to management has been heard and acted upon in terms of the employee survey and that this has given us a great baseline for continuing to improve the company environment.

Pros

Great Product. They used to throw good parties when Terry Gregg was CEO.

Cons

-Bad ideas/products are forced to work and not abandoned as a bad idea or product -Innovations to correct deficiencies in current products are viewed as admitting guilt and therefore not pursued -Passive-aggressive management and communication -No communication between departments -"Dexcom Speed" is unrealistic and unsustainable -Accountability is non-existent within management -Promotions and pay increases are only available for favorites -Nepotism is real -Facilities Management hates everyone (good luck with having a request addressed) -HR is fake and is only there to protect Management not the employee

Pros

This company has a great product and is growing fast. Lots of new opportunities are being created all the time. People are leaving some of the other well known tech and life science companies in San Diego to come work at DexCom. The company culture is fantastic and we work with some very smart and talented people.

Cons

The parking situation at the headquarters is not the best, but they are working on a solution. If you are adverse to a changing workplace and a company that is growing it might not be the place for you.
