Pros

There are some very creative and innovative designers and engineers in the business. Strong media machine. Nice countryside and part of the country to live.

Cons

Poor management and leadership- especially senior management Lack of opportunity You work in a massive open plan aircraft hanger and it is like being a battery hen. Expectations that all your time should be devoted to Dyson - with no reciprocation Lack of support for individauls to succeed- a cut-throat place to work.

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.
