Pros

You will know that your work helped a child with Type I Diabetes go to his first slumber party by himself. You will feel good about your influence on the world. You will learn. You will keep learning. The friction to make pretty dramatic changes to procedure is very low for a medical device company.

Cons

Due to rapid growth, many basic business processes are not well in place at Dexcom. Purchasing is a nightmare, for example. Good news: everything is flexible, everything changes. I've seen improvement every year. Secondly, some groups do not talk to each other that really should. I've seen some very bad relationships between Quality, Regulatory, Test, and Development. This is not the norm, but it can be very frustrating when it happens.
