Pros

It's a job, in this economy at least this company is hiring. Good pot luck, a party at Christmas

Cons

Terrible pay Terrible hours No time off Degrading treatment of 'temp' workers No room for advancement They work people into the ground, even elderly ladies in their 60's and 70's expected to work on their feet 12hrs a day 6 days a week or risk being fired. Upper levels treat 'temps' as disposable and they do not listen to problems, they just want results, if that means never being with family and working for minimum wage then that is this company's priority Forced overtime and weekend work They keep 'temp' workers as temps for years and years to avoid giving them any holidays or decent pay Many coworkers were promised permanent status if they worked 6 days a week 13hrs a day, none were made permanent, they've been working like this for a year now

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry your experience with Dexcom has not been positive. I know that we are converting many current temporary manufacturing employees to full time employees and also hiring additional temporary employees. I hope these efforts improve both your situation and perception of Dexcom.

Pros

The people are awesome. Co-workers exert so much energy to help others live a better life. Product is innovative and industry leading. It changes people’s lives!

Cons

Can’t speak for other departments but Technical Support is a disaster. The mgmt running the department is terrible. Their inability to lead has caused for a hostile work environment. And they wonder why people call in sick all the time? Are they serious? Their incompetence in learning the product and procedures has caused a great deal of confusion and added stress among the representatives on the frontline. The job is stressful as it is dealing with people’s lives and having to ensure documentation is spot on. Their ineptitude to lead along with their failure to communicate effectively has caused for representatives to lose faith in leadership. And don’t even get me started on the favoritism and political, bullying tactics (that’s about all they can do well). It is the worst I have seen. There is no light at the end of the tunnel as long as the current mgmt continues to lead. I feel like I’m jumping from a moving train before it derails.
