Pros

-You will work above your job title and obtain experience (if leadership is willing or has time to mentor you) -Some* of the people who work here are willing to help and actually like what they do.

Cons

-This company will pin you against your own coworkers, it's a "every man for themselves" type of culture, you will most likely hate multiple coworkers because of this. -Leadership has negative time to help mentor you or even bother helping you on career growth, so much is expected of every team that no one has time beyond their own position. -Do you prioritize a healthy work/life balance? If so, literally run as fast as you can. The odds of you finding a department or team that doesn't suck the soul out of you is extremely rare. -This company cares only for director positions and above, good luck feeling accomplished or appreciated in any role lower than that :-) -Dexcom's middle name is turn over, people are constantly leaving, getting fired or "re-organized". You'll hear that word a lot here, "re-org". -March is what's called the Dexit, where everyone leaves to go find new, better paying* jobs that actually care about their employees wellbeing. -Don't even get me started on this companies diversity & inclusion...... Don't do it, just don't. Unless you have all the free time in the world and skin as thick as concrete.

Pros

Career opportunities to advance. Leadership provided consistent learning opportunities with time managed while on shift. Co workers face the same challenges in shift tasks, team work is maintained on the manufacturing floor. Nice friendly and of various skill ranges coworkers were a major part of safety and task completion.

Cons

This place was incredible to have an opportunity to work at, very large manufacturing location, being disabled walking around complex was a challenge.

Pros

- Good people, despite the bad politics. People are generally smart and well meaning - Relaxed work environment depending on team. Most teams have pretty good WLB and don't require 50+ hour weeks unless you are trying to get in front of leadership

Cons

- Low pay compared to comps across US unless you're senior ++ but such is life in the SD job market - Not tech forward -- lots of inefficient processes and frustrating tech stacks that do not scale - Very political environment -- senior leadership cuts corners to appease shareholders and this creates a culture where people cannot actually stand behind their work so they resort to playing politics to keep their job - Limited opportunities for advancement. Growth has been slow the past couple of years, budgets tighter, and overall way less room for advancement. This is a company for someone mid career or later, not early career
