Employees Beware...

Pros

Pay could be better for all they put people through. Benefits are great. Can work with some great people.

Cons

Leadership! The leadership team at Dexcom is a complete joke. They spend all of their time in meetings that seem to accomplish nothing. Then when they are at their desks they put in headphones and ignore everyone. Training is severely lacking and they expect all of their other employees to train new hires while still balancing too much work. Don't expect to be rewarded or acknowledged for anything. They give 1 raise per year and it caps out at 3%. They sell you on growth opportunities, but they are only available to referrals of the current management team or they bring in people from outside. Leadership is so ego driven that when they hire a supervisor that is incompetent they won't do anything because they would have to admit that they made a bad choice. The current leadership of customer operations has driven the department to the ground. Last drawback is it is very difficult to work in a customer facing position when the 1 product we sell is under an FDA recall and is never in stock. To make it worse they rarely tell you when things are on backorder which just gets you yelled at because you can't set proper expectations without accurate information.

Pros

Pay is better than average. Other departments seem fairly competent and more open and seem to actually care about the company and their job.

Cons

Management is absolutely terrible. Even on their internal newsletter they know that inter-departmental communication needs severe improvement across the whole company. Don't bother asking your supervisor or manager things. They LOVE to ignore multiple emails and if they ever choose to reply to you, once in a blue moon, you'll usually get a typical "non-answer" to your question or concern. The new people are probably all happy go-lucky and will post 5 star reviews only because they haven't been here long enough to fully realize the management issues...I was the same way, until I had questions, concerns or problems. Ask some of the coworkers that have been here since the beginning, for several years, and you'll know the truth, that this is a typical mamangement problem; there is only one out of a dozen or so supervisors that actually cares enough to follow up with you and address your concerns. If you don't already have an anti-depressant medication of some sort prescribed to you already, I recommend getting one before starting this job, before you go into severe depression from the general atmosphere with this department. It's what I have had to do to deal with this environment.

Pros

Technology was very interesting. Some of my co-workers were very exceptional. Compensation was good.

Cons

Management was charming but corrupt. Hit a glass ceiling after a few years.
