Some depts are better than others

Pros

The product is great, and the company's growth is fast-paced. In certain depts and circumstances, this means there is a lot of opportunity to find your passion and get ahead.

Cons

Dexcom salaries and wages on the whole are below market value. HR told me as much when I negotiated my current wage. Sales, Tech Support, and QA for the most part have incompetent leadership that cover up their shortcomings by hiring and promoting friends and driving out any talent, intellect, or experience that may have accidentally slipped in. I repeatedly see hourly workers who can't do as good of a job as they'd like because they are held back by their Supervisor or Manager. When I was first hired here, a coworker told me "Get everything they tell you in writing. They'll change the rules without telling you and blame you for following the rules that they did tell you." Facilities upper management has an outright contempt for anyone below manager level. I've heard them browbeat people and make threats countless times, publicly shaming people for not making the coworker they just had lunch with swipe their badge when entering. They also send company-wide emails when someone parks poorly.

Pros

Changing people's lives through innovative products that help diabetics manage their disease. The Technical Support analysts are among the best in the industry.

Cons

Senior leadership and HR are truly amateur hour! Policies are interpreted willy-nilly with inconsistencies at every level! Senior leadership is run by the employees instead of the employees receiving proper guidance from its leadership structure. Truly a case where the "children run the house" Prejudice, bigotry, and favoritism runs rampant. Very few employees at any level remain employed for more than 2 years.

Great market, decent device, poor management

Pros

Very interesting technology. Can learn a lot with initiative. Reasonable life/work balance.

Cons

If you are in the favored clique there is no accountability, you can fail miserably and never suffer any consequences. If you are outside the favored clique, no matter how much you produce, you will never get promoted.
