Pros

Relatively standard working hours. Good cheap food in the canteen. Free parking. You know you'll get paid at the end of the month. Paid holidays. Free Christmas party. Looks good on a CV because outsiders don't really know what it's like.

Cons

You'll not be judged on how good you are - but how well you suck up to a dysfunctional cult of senior managers. True creative thinking and ideas are actively discouraged. Don't have informed, considered opinions - you'll be shot to pieces and targeted for presenting a threat to talentless managers who are only in their positions because of who they say yes to.

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.
