Pros

Dyson products are amazing. It was also fun to say I worked at Dyson and see people's reactions.

Cons

Dyson focus is only on selling products, not people. Management will tell you it's a pleasure to work at Dyson and expect you come in early, stay late, work weekends with out a thank you or good job. There is no such thing as a proper work life balance. The schedule is not flexible nor are the hours. They don't offer training or continuing education.

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.
