A lot of pain and no gain

Pros

Dyson products are amazing. It was also fun to say I worked at Dyson and see people's reactions.

Cons

Dyson focus is only on selling products, not people. Management will tell you it's a pleasure to work at Dyson and expect you come in early, stay late, work weekends with out a thank you or good job. There is no such thing as a proper work life balance. The schedule is not flexible nor are the hours. They don't offer training or continuing education.

Pros

Great products, easy to be enthusiastic about them. Company culture is very energetic and there are people who do some great things an listen to what you have to say.

Cons

Pay will continue to fall and management continue to under serve the needs of field sales. Management expect you to do everything in store and then don't provide you with the resources to do so.

Pros

Working hours are actually as described (9-5:30; half hour for lunch). Very few people stay longer. 27 days holiday per year (plus 8 bank holidays) as of 2014 (3 must be taken between Christmas and New Year). Good internal personnel website - search for anyone, with photos and job titles. Very good budget for buying tools and equipment. The work is very interesting and varied. No dress code! Very well equipped workshop, and easy access to advanced prototyping capabilities. Nearly everyone is friendly and easy to work with.

Cons

Huge open plan "office" (warehouse really) is quite loud due to all the nearby vacuum cleaner testing. It can be cold in winter. You can't carry any holiday over New Year as of 2014 (most companies allow 5 days). Parking is horrific. Traffic when leaving is also bad (everyone leaves at the same time). Getting a seat in the cafe is nearly impossible. This is due to hiring many new people recently. Salaries are not transparent at all.
