Challenging, yet more rewarding than any other job I've had
Pros
Dexcom employees genuinely care about our customers. Our mission is to "empower people to take control of diabetes" and that's exactly what we and our product do. It's exciting to build a category and be at the forefront of changing the way people deal with this disease. It's nice to work for a company that leads the industry & has unprecedented growth, even if it means that a lot of our work is an uphill battle. That's the nature of the beast.
Cons
Goals are aggressive, timelines are demanding and everyone is expected to work very hard. But the hard work pays off. You just have to be able to keep your head straight and not lose sight of the importance of the work. All great things & rewards come with great challenges. You cannot impact an industry without being flexible & adaptable. If you work to collect a paycheck, this is not the right place for you. You have to be dedicated and invested in the big picture.
