I applied online. I interviewed at Dexcom (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Noel sat me down with 3 other engineers and asked me questions. Typical interview questions. I feel I did pretty well. Everyone was talking, sharing laughs, and asking questions. Noel said I was the first to be interviewed out of a few candidates so someone will get in touch in 1 week.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dexcom (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
Standard interviews with hiring manager, dept leadership, peers. Not stressful but plenty of questions designed to test knowledge of important details. Throughout the process, everyone was friendly and professional, and staff were responsive to my questions in a timely manner and also very transparent about what would happen next (like background check, etc).

about likely future paths for particular scientific domain; I can't go in to specifics but my point is to apply for a position your qualified for because you will be asked specific questions where you have to prove yourself
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Dexcom (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Typical - phone interview followed by on-site panel interview. The phone interview reviewed my resume, and covered skills, education, work history. The panel interview was a little strange, because the same question about dealing with a strong personality kept coming up. Apparently there was someone on staff that they all felt was a jerk.
