      Pros

      Overall the company is trying to grow and improve while trying to keep employees content. Improvements have been made - employee benefits, hybrid wfh/office schedule, unlimited PTO and more regular updates from CEO.

      Cons

      Very rocky post merger, compensation could be better, system and tools are hit or miss. Depending on what team you are on, you may be expected to work 12 hour days, micromanaged and then isolated when you speak up. If you are not a personal friend of the top manager, good luck getting promoted... it's the gals club. Don't bother asking to be moved to another team, you will end up fearing for your job. Toxic and unprofessional is putting it lightly. Not a terrible company overall, however, be very cautious of what role(s) and teams(s) you will be working with.

      Thank you for your feedback, and for your time with Dynata! Often times companies go through a bit of a rough patch after a merger, as we regain our footing, meld cultures and get to know new team members across the globe. Our systems and tools are a work in progress and improving them is one of our top priorities for the year. We’re sorry you feel the environment is toxic and unprofessional – we are working hard to build a culture of inclusion and appreciation, which of course includes promotions. Promotions are given by merit (and budget-permitting), but if you feel there is favoritism please speak with an HR representative, as this should never be the case. It’s great to hear people want things to get better – the more we work together and share ideas, the more improvements we can make!

      The Merger that Killed Culture

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good colleagues make the time pass quickly

      Cons

      Undervalues employees; new job openings starting at $xx,xxx higher than the previous employees who had been on target every year Lack of meaningful communication; senior management passes along useless updates when the sales/project teams need REAL updates on why the system is underperforming Constant system failure/downtime Insufficient internal resources to accomplish goals; this makes it impossible to sell these “new and shiny” services when the internal teams assigned to these services push back due to lack of team members to assign them to. Target metrics are designed so poorly that only small percentages of sales people/territories even come close to hitting goal. Typically those that hit goal are so egregiously over quotas that a middle schooler could have given them more realistic goals. Not to knock on those overachieving, but realistic overachievement is 150-175%, not 500%+ every quarter

      Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry that you did not find your job nor the company rewarding. We have tried to manage the change that often results from mergers to be as minimally disruptive as possible but there are always challenges that result from brining disparate companies together. In 2019, we launched monthly pulse surveys to get input on how to best create a culture that inspires employees. We created a weekly CEO newsletter, a new employee recognition program and other initiatives in response to feedback. I am optimistic, over time, these will help address many of the issues you have highlighted.
