Pros

James Dyson's mind, employee discount, holiday parties, summer outings, summer hours, Chicago location (metro area), products popularity and innovation of design asethetics, M-F work week.

Cons

Mediocre pay, unfair business practices, dangling the carrot before the proverbial cart and donkey mentatlity to get a buy in from employees then going back on what was promised to them when results are achieved for the benefit of the company, lack of consistency with process and procedures, blatant favoritism among departments and employees, no communication across departments, lack of company cohesiveness, unqualified individuals lacking credentials working in upper management, the area of the business or organization that deals with the administration, management, and hiring of personnel is a joke, no career pathing or employee development and turnover rate unusually high.

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.
