Pros

Ergonomics group is awesome. Kitchens are functional. On-site (an honor based snack bar) is a nice addition. Forget breakfast/lunch? Ave C (and the delivery guy, Craig) is great!!!

Cons

Two-faced supervisors and managers. DexCom does it their way regardless of the FDA CFR. Pay is waaaay below industry standard. No wonder Dexcom has such a high turn over rate. Dexcom has recently turned away from American workers and started hiring (at an exponential rate) tons of H1B Indians. Why?? They can pay lower salaries for substandard work. Simply waiting for the next FDA audit to see how many violations we shall receive in a FDA483

We have grown quickly, and it may be hard to see all the efforts being made throughout Dexcom, and the same growth that has created great opportunities for our employees sometimes also creates challenges for those same employees. We are absolutely committed to complying with the requirements of the laws and regulations administered by the FDA and the many other government authorities with jurisdiction over our products and people. These laws and regulations can be complicated and there may not always be one clear answer: our employees are encouraged to raise issues with their supervisors and with our Regulatory, Quality and Legal departments, and when applicable, our HR and Compliance departments as well. Dexcom is a great place for employees who thrive on the challenges presented by our fast growth, rapid innovation cycles and the complex requirements of the medical device industry, and who are comfortable raising and resolving issues in a collaborative manner.

Pros

the benefits are pretty good

Cons

Dexcom does not reward people based on hard work and "doing the right thing", it rewards on how long you have been at the company and how loud you "B!tch" about not getting promoted. Failure is an acceptable measuring tool for promotions and bonuses.

Pros

Dexcom provides fair pay for the position, and for the most part management is pretty nice. Plenty of overtime opportunities available for people who enjoy working. It's a beautiful office, and a great location. The other employees are very nice.

Cons

The schedule is VERY draining. Most new hires will work 5 days a week, with Saturday mandatory. You will likely get 1 week day off, either Wednesday, or Thursday, along with your Sunday. Bonuses are extremely rare, unless you're the #1 performer in your department, you can forget any bonus. Many of the managers have minimal experience and either none, or very little college completed. There is almost no room to grow upwards, unless you start out as a manager. PTO and Sick is very minimal - you gain 4 hours of PTO per pay period, 8 hours per month. You have 5 sick days to use for the WHOLE year. This is pathetic compared to other corporate offices.
