Pros
The people left a really nice but are all looking outwards, for the next opportunity to leave. Most of the health and safety team have left so if you fancy a go making something really dangerous with some of the best resources around crack on. Also if you do it fast and dangerous you’ll be rewarded. I’ve seen more control in a pre COVID kebab shop at 2am on a Saturday. Oh and there is free food in the canteen, but it’s not exactly worth the price. You may have an impromptu long term stay on the porcelain throne if you win lunch roulette. Great regular chances to go for exercise, trying to find a toilet free can take a nice 10mins out of you day and boosts the step count. There are actually some genuinely nice people who really care about the place. They all sad to see the place they have invested years in being carelessly trashed by a maniac and an eccentric billionaire.
Cons
Honestly I’m not sure where to start, it’s quite painful to be part of, you feel a sinking feeling turning up to work knowing that there will be some wonderful cluster to deal with by the end of the week. It might be another classy announcement to get back into the office again or your sacked. Sent of Friday night after hours! Or maybe we’ve just made some of you team redundant surprise! Oh and btw we still want to double dyson so if you can make up the slack that would be grand. Or there is flexible working dears but if you actually use it we will hunt you down and demand to know why you weren’t on site even though we told you you could. Or the latest don’t to what the government tell you, we know best, stay working at your desks we are watching. The way employees are treated is quite historic, you will be a number here. You will be paid below the industry average because you are working for the great dyson and you should be thankful that we let you in the gate. I’m not sure if we actually have any great products in the pipeline, most are just paint jobs or reactionary, not the great inventions that they once were producing. It’s all about producing something in such short time scales that everyone on the project goes out with stress. If I were betting I would wager that the talent that has left has struck a possible mortal blow. There does seem to be very little pre thought to some of the decisions so you will learn to be dynamic with the truth when asked. The last belter, don’t spend anything until next year. That stopped most of dyson RDD for 2 days until someone saw sense. It’s like someone left Roland in the pub on Friday night with his phone and told him don’t txt the company. It’s all quite sad as this once great company circles the drain, hopefully it’s not allowed to sink but my advice, don’t join, but watch as it might get back to being great again. If it does it’s a great place but right now no so much.
