      Pros

      * Waking up everyday knowing that my daily efforts will benefit people with diabetes around the world. * VERY smart folk; I love all the incredible brains around here. * The company has a passion for managing diabetes. * Very good benefits.

      Cons

      * With rapid growth, the alignment of departments between locales hasn't been what it needs to be. * Efforts are compartmentalized (ibid.). * 100% of effort is applied to 80% of goals. * A rush-to-market causes employees to have to "drink from a firehose" in their endeavors. * From the Management Dilemma of "Good, Fast, or Cheap–select two," Dexcom frequently selects Fast and Cheap.

      Pros

      Fast pace and extremely challenging (I see this as a pro). Lots of room to grow and move up if you are smart, energetic, and ambitious.

      Cons

      The volume of projects and moving parts can be overwhelming at times.
