      Senior Design Engineer Interview

      30 Jun 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Malmesbury, England
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Dyson (Malmesbury, England) in May 2017

      Interview

      Online application, telephone interview, and then face to face interview with senior manager and two technical team members, plus a mini interview with HR to check you have no better offers on the table. The technical test was challenging and open ended, however was in the form of a technical discussion surrounding some circuit diagrams and then technical probing of theoretical electronics. The interviewers were interested in design work I had done outside of employment and had clearly spent a long while looking at my LinkedIn profile and personal website in addition to my CV. The entire process took a very long time, there was a period of several months between submitting my CV / online application and being asked for a phone interview. The period until an in-person interview was short, and then I quickly received a verbal offer within a few days. It did however take over a month of chasing from myself after this as they would not confirm the salary in writing, only the standard terms. The salary offered for a senior role was low (£10-15k below other roles applied to and my existing job) however in fairness they did offer a good benefits package and the role sounded interesting. A 39hr week did not help to compensate the lower pay. In the end Dyson retracted the job offer after a month without citing a reason (although kindly offered to keep me on file! - not likely!). I suspect they had been waiting to interview another candidate and decided they had a better proposition, however in the meantime they should not have made an offer and a string of excuses about managers being unobtainable for confirmation. For an organisation struggling to recruit engineers I feel Dyson have a very poor attitude towards professional interviewing.
