Pros

What an unbelievable product it was the second most fulfilling and rewarding position I have had.

Cons

The place really took a dive after they brought on New Management that didn't know anything. They ran everyone who was good away and technical support management is garbage however the CEO and family and people around them are great

Pros

This company looks great on a resume and has an incredible product. They have a snack bar in the building and I made great relationships with my coworkers. Their ergonomics program is amazing, and that department is incredibly nice and really do care.

Cons

This is related to tech support- they are open 24 hours. Make sure to eat and go to the bathroom before work because you will be glued to the phone and your desk all day long. I was reading other reviews and they are spot on. Be prepared for your family and personal life to suffer. You will work Christmas Day, thanksgiving and any other holiday. The patients are nice, but are not so nice after holding 30-60 minutes to talk to you! Management says that if they get mean (which they do) you can give them a warning. But you will get verbally abused and cussed at. Everyone calls in sick because you are so stressed out and overworked your immune system is non existent. They also call in sick because when you can, people go out drinking together at night to forget about their awful day and what their life has become. There are cliques and favoritism through the roof. Just sit at your desk and mind your business. Starting pay is slightly higher than other companies but you have to work so much. You will know HR staff by first name. Also parking is awful, be prepared to walk. If you need to sleep on your lunch break it takes forever to walk to your car. Security guards are nice though. They expect you to complete calls and documentation of the call in a timely manner but it takes FOREVER to document and you have to ask the patient a ton of questions. My advice to you- take the job, but apply at other places while you work here.

Pros

24/7 environment means schedules can be flexible. Hourly, non-exempt and plenty of overtime means you can make a lot of money if you put in the extra time. Most patients that call in are nice people. Other employees are nice and helpful, management should be more or less avoided.

Cons

24/7 environment means you probably won't get the schedule you want. They more or less ignore schedule requests and place you where they need people, regardless of what you want. Little room for growth - they hire people into higher positions rather than promoting existing employees. Not a Technical Support role, more of a Customer Service role. They won't hire you for this position if you don't have 24/7 availability, meaning if you have any sort of life outside of work you'll have to choose.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on Dexcom and for your work in supporting our patients. I understand the the difficulty in balancing schedule requests with the need to have 24/7 support.
