Champions of toxic culture!

Pros

Benefits only. If you’re into getting quick bucks on your savings account, start here, but prepare to withstand one of the world's most toxic corporate culture.

Cons

Remember reading all those posts on internet about companies with toxic cultures, bad management and politics politics and more politics in their corporate culture? Yeah, Dyson somehow managed to have all of it under their roof. Think of a shiny golden Fabergé egg on the outside and rotten tomatoes inside, and you’ll get the picture. You’ll be treated like a number, you’ll be asked to work overtime, you’ll be pushed to work on weekends and stay away from your family. You’ll be asked to work during your holidays and while you’re sick. I’m not kidding or exaggerating. Prepare for it. And they’ll tell you, it’s harsh times and this and that and it’s for the greater good and for your and the company’s benefit to do so, but they won’t offer anything in return. They’ll thank you at the end. But you don’t work for thank you, now do you!? Your time away from the family will be lost forever, your holidays will be ruined when your phone starts ringing where they ask you to go back the work, because the top management Gods have to be satisfied, because the mile long train can never stop! You’ll be frantically bombarded with a “self-help” e-mails teaching you how to reduce the stress, how to cope with the symptoms. That’s your sign, right there, to ruuuuuun! Run as far as you can and get yourself a nice job, anywhere else, except here!

RDD - Design

Business outlook

Pros

- Nice office (without enough space for everyone or to store test or design samples) - Good and dedicated engineers (without being recognized for their contributions and they are the first to be blamed when something bad happens) - Good location - Flexible working hours (9am-9pm without ot pay? including weekends) - Above average compensations & benefits

Cons

- Career Opportunities: Can end up 6-7 years without a single promotion - Work/Life Balance: Can even end up working more than 12 hours in consecutive days (many weekends might be burnt at work) without ot pay - Senior Management: Some managers practice too much power and are arrogant (nobody wants to give feedback due to their stubbornness and they think that their management skill is top-notch). Some are just messengers to relay information from higher management to engineers (high pay and no actual use). - Culture & Value: Engineers are helpful and supportive to each other. Relationship between engineers and management is sour (hopeless and pathetic management) - Internal Processes - Complicated and Complex (no one cares cos engineers are the ones to do - for so long, not much improvements) - Management team keeps mumbling they understand the pain and suffering of engineers without much actions (actions taken are just for show only without actually fixing problems)

Pros

Medical benefits are very good and insurance.

Cons

They hired me showing a job description of control systems engineer. Then they gave me verifications and motor drives role after i joined company. Very unethical management and the contract of employment is such that you have no say as it mentions job can change any time. Avoid joining this company if you are working in proper process oriented and multinational r&d. In Singapore what they call as RnD is a production support and UK suppprt role. This was my worst and most expensive mistake of career. They hardly care about you. For them all that matters is some crap work is getting done somehow. Management is having very wrong attitude. They hardly understand what is RnD role. They hire at kent ridge location and then all of a sudden you are asked to work from pioneer location. They also have location in Malaysia. The singapore side supports Malaysia. If not covid situation you shall be travelling on weekly basis to Malaysia. Your life will turn to hell by working at such unethical place. People join such company by seeing story of James Dyson. It is only good in video. All rnd work happens only in uk. The singapore and malaysia side have automatic production factories and the culture here is of support roles kind. Very crap.
