Pros
- You will learn a lot on the job, given that you will get exposure to many parts of the business. - Dyson does a great job with educating employees on their product lines and growing their loyalty and love for the products.
Cons
- Dyson's management (VP level and below) are not trained to be people managers. Yes, they are fantastic at their jobs and help the company grow, but are not fit to be a people manager (during yearly 360 performance reviews, you aren't allowed to do a review on your manager, but only other people on the team that you work with). Management will care very little about your future at the company, unless you are a favorite (many managers have a lot of favoritism in the office- favoritism is based on your personality, not performance whatsoever). - Dyson oftentimes hires externally for high positions and rarely promotes from within, so if you are looking to grow with a company and learn from management/mentors, Dyson is not the best choice. - Formal project management processes don't exist, and management will do very little to formalize a real process. This leaves employees feeling overworked because of inefficiencies in the project management process. - Beware of false promises from HR in terms of salary increases, benefits, promotions, or even an international opportunity. HR at Dyson is known around the office to throw out promises that never end up happening.
