Introduction:
From its origins in a small workshop in rural England, Dyson has grown into a technology company with a global footprint.
We have offices from Auckland to Zurich, via Singapore, Moscow and Chicago.
While engineering remains at our core, our passion for problem solving across different disciplines runs throughout our business.
We're a diverse workforce made up of people with different Dyson behaviours.
Our philosophy remains the same as it was 25 years ago when James Dyson invented the first cyclonic vacuum cleaner.
We remain family owned.
We don't bow to outside shareholders or report to the stock exchange.
Instead we plot our own path, unshackled from conventional thinking.
Dyson people are encouraged to think differently, challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes.
We're creative, collaborative, practical, enthusiastic and resourceful.
But most of all we're passionate about what we do.
