      Pros

      You will know that your work helped a child with Type I Diabetes go to his first slumber party by himself. You will feel good about your influence on the world. You will learn. You will keep learning. The friction to make pretty dramatic changes to procedure is very low for a medical device company.

      Cons

      Due to rapid growth, many basic business processes are not well in place at Dexcom. Purchasing is a nightmare, for example. Good news: everything is flexible, everything changes. I've seen improvement every year. Secondly, some groups do not talk to each other that really should. I've seen some very bad relationships between Quality, Regulatory, Test, and Development. This is not the norm, but it can be very frustrating when it happens.

      Pros

      They have good A/C and fast internet.

      Cons

      Degrading treatment of employees. They dangle your job. There is no advancement for hard workers and for the sales they expect you should be making way more then what they pay. It is not worth it.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on Dexcom. While I do request that our employees post reviews on Glassdoor, I have never requested positive feedback on Dexcom. I am sorry you don't see the opening of our Arizona operations as an opportunity for career growth. We certainly believe that helping to start up a new parallel Inside Sales organization certainly creates opportunities for advancement. I hope that you can make it through your current frustrations to participate in the incredible opportunity for our company to make a difference in the lives of patients with diabetes.

      Pros

      I made pretty good money in my position (when it was possible to make goal). To be honest, that was the single reason I stayed there. Now, it's impossible to make your numbers unless you are one of managements favorites.

      Cons

      Way too many to list. The Customer service department is SO prejudice. You'll see it if you ever go for the job (especially if you are a minority and hired as higher than a CSR). No joke, the upper management is blatantly nepotistic and ONLY promote who they like (more points if you AREN'T a minority) I've seen people of color leave back to back. Super discouraging if you actually want to move up. Supervisors are as smart as a 5th grader.
