Pros

Good work life balance(nothing much to do, no need for Over-time). Smart Casual dress code. Discount for own products(limited to 4 items annually). 3D mouse for CAD work provided.

Cons

Mediocre pay (for fresh graduates it is the same irrespective of your honors, whether first class or not). While it claims to be synonym of innovation, this is hardly so in Singapore. Here it's only about the later stage of product development, meaning you can't create new things from scratch- you can only do minor modification for product mass production. The information control is very tight here; you don't even know what they are developing in UK before the project get transferred. If you are not Ang Mo(local term for Caucasian), then don't expect fast promotions. The company has too many UK expats. Unusual high turn over rates.

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.
