Dexcom reviews

A lot of micro managing and plans to record every step employees do in the future. No down time between calls. Employees don't get enough support with patients that are rude and patient get what they want even if they are in the wrong. No extra pay or thanks if you do more like mentoring or perform great. Everyone is just stressed and miserable and gets no fair compensation for what they do.

Large organisations that "feel like a startup", are "fast paced" and where "no two days are the same" are red flags (in this case) for poor management and inter-departmental dysfunction. There are some companies that can strike the right balance between feeling like a startup and being a large enterprise, but this wasn't one of them. They are in desperate need of an influx of new staff who have experience in scaling out a company that has experienced 10x growth. Dexcom feels more like a collection of organisations with a shared goal, rather than a single employer, with each of these organisations prioritising different things, with incongruent methods and who all need you to work on something else, at the same time. A lot of this comes down to improper structuring of teams and a culture of role ambiguity throughout the company. There are high levels of stress and it is very easy to end up with an unmanageable workload. Deadlines are tight and frequent, context switching is a daily if not hourly occurrence and unpaid overtime can become a habit rather than the exception. I would think twice before applying to work here, people get burned out.
