Pros

If you want to travel, you'll have the opportunity to within the AME and some other Operations groups. They do still have Work from Home policies (2022), so that's nice compared to some other companies.

Cons

- Not enough people to truly be able to comfortably complete tasks / projects on time. Labeled as a normal thing too, "That's Dexcom", "Welcome to Dexcom". - Unreasonable schedules for most projects - Groups are too Silo'd - Quality Team doesn't seem to actually review documents (likely cause they are over worked) - Too much like a Startup for the size of the company - Weak pay raises considering inflation (Let's just say that the raise for an average employee who did everything they were assigned to do came no where near inflation in 2022 let alone what one might expect of a normal year raise at any other company), be prepared to have to look elsewhere to keep you pay competitive with raising cost of living (whether you switch or use it as leverage for an inhouse raise) - Weak Employee retention (because of the issues above)
