Hybrid model needs more trust

Working as a Senior Product Designer at Dyson in Chicago was a mixed bag, especially for work flexibility. Some days it felt okay, others pretty rigid.


Pros

The hybrid model is available, which is a start. For product design roles, there's some chance to do focused work remote from home a couple days a week. It's nice not being in the Chicago office every single day.


Cons

Flexibility really depends on your specific manager, which is tough. Some teams demand more onsite presence, making true WFH difficult even when tasks could be done remotely. It's a big corporate environment, not a startup, so policies can feel a bit rigid in consumer electronics development.


Advice to Management

Managers should get more training on how to genuinely support flexible work. Trust teams more with their hybrid schedules instead of enforcing blanket onsite rules.

Advice to Management: Need to create clearer progression frameworks for engineering roles. Make it easier for high performers to actually get promoted faster than the current pace.

Solid Start, Slower Growth for Engineering Roles
Pros: I really learned a ton as a Junior Mechanical Engineer. The resources for product development and hands-on experience in the consumer electronics industry were great. It's a big corporate environment, so you get to work on impressive projects.
Cons: Career growth can feel stagnant after the initial entry-level phase. There aren't many clear promotion tracks for more experienced mechanical engineering roles. Internal competition is tough, and it's hard to move up without leaving.
Advice to Management: Create clearer progression paths for engineers beyond the junior level. Invest more in internal promotions and mentorship for senior roles to retain talent.
