Pros

Great culture amongst the many people and great work to be involved in. Overall this company is in great shape. The atmosphere can at times be euphoric. Staff discount is a big bonus if you like the products.

Cons

Its a hard place to progress and although hundreds were promoted at the last opportunity - no reason was given as to why this special bunch got promoted and other's didn't. Displaying the name's of the promoted for all to see was a terrible decision, it just informed the entire place who got a pay rise. There is no official role progression in place. Full stop. HR are Robots, they give the same answers over and over again. Its like they've been trained to purposefully be unhelpful and malfunction when a question they don't like is asked.

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. We're glad you think the company is in great shape and that it has a great culture. We're sorry to read your comments regarding career progression and promotions . However, our performance framework was designed to simplify the process; it's led by the individual so should encourage a self-starter mentality. We believe in celebrating success which in turn creates a sense of recognition. We would encourage you to review the performance criteria on the Intranet and let your line manager/HR representative know if you have any queries. Many thanks again for your review. -Talent Engagement Team.

Pros

- If your team/manager is great, that makes a huge difference - opportunity to take on huge responsibilities early in your career - camaraderie among coworkers - Some of the benefits are okay (health insurance, parental leave)

Cons

- Poor leadership with no real direction, at both the national and global level - Constant layoffs - Pay is not market rate (and they let you know that) - Everything is outsourced (designs, customer service, finance, etc.) - Dyson has become a market chaser rather than a market leader - Inflexible in-office policy (5 days, little exception) - Bonuses haven’t been paid in full in years Company is in a tail spin freefall. Jump ship while you can.
