Pros

Meet some awesome people at work. Luckily the office is new as Dyson has moved to a new Chicago location. Knowing that you work in the US HQ is a pretty awesome and gratifying feeling. Awesome accommodations for the office: shuttles, parking, in office barista, food delivery service.

Cons

On the other hand, disappointing culture where your superiors do not promote you or your growth. I’ve heard employees being in the same position for years without moving up in the ladder; apparently if you’re not in the UK office, in sales, or part of the business to business teams, you will not be getting promoted. The company expects you to learn their new systems, but will not expect you to grow in your position. Also have been witness and victim to in office bullying; apparently some people will manage you based on their tenure and title. Leaders in UK have promised to change and try to improve office culture and environment, but their words are hallow and only filled with smoke and mirrors. Extremely high turn over: since the beginning of the year at least 12 people have already left; highly affective, tenured, and talented people have decided they had enough.

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.
