Pros

Lots of work travel prior to COVID. Half day Fridays year around. Private company which allows for less pressure on delivering quarterly results to places like Wall Street.

Cons

Culture: A lack of humanity and care for employees; the new C-suite and senior leadership teams don't prioritize people and lack integrity. The culture was once an open and a safe space, now, it leads with fear and no sense of leadership. If you try to look for the company's values, even on the career's site they don't list people as a top value. When they say 'people champions' it's in relation to consumers, not employees. Bullying/Toxic workplace: I have personally experienced bullying, retaliation for providing feedback and have had sr leadership share gossip/awful insults about employees' physical appearances. Discrimination and Racism: It's ironic that in the US organization, there are quite a few female leaders, yet they are not supportive of other women beneath them. Comments around roles, promotions, and anxiety of specific women getting pregnant and going on maternity leave. The poor handling of social issues internally and externally, someone actually said 'but you're not black' in response to my emotional outrage. You'll never feel less valued than here at Dyson. You'll experience constant disappointment in the leadership, you'll experience nepotism, disrespect, belittlement, you'll work your butt off for below market salary, and HR will not support you unless you are on the senior leadership level/VP+.

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.
