Dyson has lost its way - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Dyson

Dyson used to be an exciting place to work full of good people who were passionate about the brand and its products. Unfortunately that passion and excitement has dwindled over the past couple years as people took a back seat to profit. Dyson claims to care about its people through half-baked initiatives that are actually considered the bare minimum at many companies in the tech world (pizza Fridays, free snacks in the office, gym discounts, etc.). Work-life balance is abysmal and employees are often blamed for having bad work-life balance and not logging off at night. But, if you log off and miss just one thing, you find yourself behind and out of the loop in the matter of minutes. Demands from Group (corporate) are ever-changing and always a priority, making it hard to plan more than 2 weeks out, and truly enjoy and unplug on a vacation. Employees are at the whim of James Dyson and Roland Krueger and their moods on any given day. Career growth is not great. There isn't a clear path for promotions or raises, and employees often have to fight, and then wait, for a promotion or raise for months. Raises that come with promotions are laughable, especially since many who are promoted have been doing work that's levels above them for months, and maybe even years. There's no culture anymore. Dyson used to be fun and full of a leadership team that cared and planned fun things (random happy hours, silly things like mannequin challenge videos, offsites, etc.). Now it's just a gloomy office full of people who are overworked.
