Pros

People. Dyson attracts some of the brightest, most talented and motivated people. The working environment is fair though creaking and leaking. The perks (free food and drink) is decent. Dyson still looks good on your CV to prospective employers.

Cons

Micromanagment - leaders have long screwdrivers constantly tweaking and changing priorities. Leadership is prone to short-term thinking - when there is a downturn, the company lets people go including its most talented, IP-holders. The insistence for fully onsite is outdated and nonsensical especially when the leadership seem to make it work from a yacht in the med! The company panders to and indulges its Institute (DIET) and its students over and above experienced engineers.
