Pros

Such a rewarding, relaxed, friendly and hilarious atmosphere and work colleagues. Average engineer age is ~25. HUGE discount on Dyson products, perks and yearly events and parties organised by the company. Competitive salary, pension and you can work as independently as you like.

Cons

Little to no flexi-time (ad-hoc basis). Lack of formal 'hierarchy', often makes it difficult to see where you could progress. Not much travel opportunities.

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.
