Pros

Great product discounts decent benefits nice parental leave fun office events sometimes Summer Fridays!

Cons

New leadership across the US in the last year has had a negative impact on culture. People are treated poorly and there is a culture of devious leadership behavior and bullying. Chaotic work style. Yes, I like fast paced but it got ridiculous to have little or no direction on projects or ever changing direction. Expats from the UK come to the US and steal the good jobs and mid level manager roles. It makes it hard to progress. Career progression is a joke! Most people leave eventually like I had to. UK headquarters can make the US feel like we can't be autonomous. There is so much pressure from the UK. Constant visitors who disrupt work and have to be treated like royalty. No thanks.

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.
