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.
