Pros

Some decent advancement opportunities in certain areas.

Cons

Horrible management, and no one that I talked to had been there for more than 2 years. That says something about a company if they can't retain employees for more than a year or two.

Pros

Camaraderie, team mentality, it's good if you are looking for a stable place to do a good job and have solid income. You can't have the "it's not my job" mentality to be successful at Dexcom.

Cons

As everyone says, Parking is horrible. HR is a bureaucratic nightmare at times.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on life at Dexcom, especially since you've been here for over 3 years. I was sorry to hear that you feel HR is a a "bureaucratic nightmare", but if you have ideas for improvement I am always open to receiving and sharing them.

Pros

* Waking up everyday knowing that my daily efforts will benefit people with diabetes around the world. * VERY smart folk; I love all the incredible brains around here. * The company has a passion for managing diabetes. * Very good benefits.

Cons

* With rapid growth, the alignment of departments between locales hasn't been what it needs to be. * Efforts are compartmentalized (ibid.). * 100% of effort is applied to 80% of goals. * A rush-to-market causes employees to have to "drink from a firehose" in their endeavors. * From the Management Dilemma of "Good, Fast, or Cheap–select two," Dexcom frequently selects Fast and Cheap.
