Pros

Some fantastic people throughout the company -- very passionate about the product and about making the lives of patients with diabetes easier. Benefits are decent overall, and events happen seemingly every couple of weeks, whether within the department or company-wide.

Cons

Pay is okay at best, and you will be made to work for every last penny. Training is often inadequate (especially at the Arizona facility) and you will mess quite a few things up when you start because you weren't given appropriate instruction. You will be required to work a mandatory eleven hour shift at the end of each month as well as a mandatory Saturday at the end of each quarter, which they will not warn you about during the hiring process. If things get busy, management will literally pay people twice as much as they pay you to attempt to help you (without giving anywhere near adequate training, so you will have to go back and correct mistakes). Benefits have major holes in them -- most notably, they do not have any 401k matching. Essentially zero career development or investment in internal talent, despite them launching their "DexcomGo" program.

Pros

I’ve met some amazing people while working at Dexcom. No one is against the cause that this company is offering to patients, and most everyone is willing to help each other or make an attempt at hitting the sky high goals that is set for us. I came from a place complete opposite of sales and have been able to gain so much knowledge about medical sales and mostly being in a corporate setting, very eye opening.

Cons

It’s not the same as it was when I first got hired on. As with any growing company, change and growing pains are inevitable. But, the standards being held for individuals and the lack of accountability are probably the most frustrating- along with the companies expectations of being able to keep up with anything that pops up in an email. The almost non existent thought of consistency is fun idea. The constant feeling of disappointment and lack of support from not only certain teammates, but from supervisors and upper management, does nothing but bring down morale and create less excitement across the floor. You can’t help but feel less important every time commission structure changes or you’re told to “deal with it and work with what we have”. We can’t keep up with some of the things being thrown our way, and it literally drains all of the energy out of you. A positive attitude can only get you so far, especially if it’s not met with something to look forward to. I feel like they forget that we work with the physicians and their staff, collaborate with the outside reps and most importantly, are the people speaking with the patients... but are treated like an easily replaceable, call center. It’s disheartening. The grass is always greener on the other side. So my opinion probably differs from others, but chances are, I’m not the only one that feels this way.

Pros

Great working environment and amazing medical benefits!!! I have kids and paying tons while still having a deductible and co-pays are KILLER these days. Dexcom provides us with a plan in AZ that we pay the premium and co-pays, however, there are zero deductibles! LOVE IT!

Cons

Getting time off, sometimes provides difficult. The lady who does it, needs to open up more allotted time now that the company is growing! She's too strict, while the benefits are amazing, understanding families need to be just as amazing.
