      Pros

      Free drinks and snacks but that seems to be gone soon too.

      Cons

      Where do I start... Research Now lacks training and executive leadership across the board. Changes are implemented from the executive team without any input from their employees. Focusing on the wrong area of change! Rather then fixing problems, they are only creating more problems and making it a more difficult place to work. There has also been a huge drop in quality of work from certain teams given the lack of experience/training but management promoted them anyways given the layoffs that had occurred. Short-staffed and low salary but Research Now still expects you to give 110% of your effort and commitment. Communication is never public as everyone seems to have an hidden agenda.

      Pros

      The people I work with are the only reason I'm still here. Dynata employs a great group of people who make as tolerable as possible, it's just a shame that they don't treat their employees better and actually show them that they value their hard work.

      Cons

      Where do I begin... with all the changes the company has gone through recently, it's understandable that there would be some growing pains, but this is on a whole new level. Don't get too excited over a big sale, because the company can and will move accounts around at their discretion, leaving you with nothing to show for all your hard work. The internal tools are extremely unreliable and inaccurate. Maintenance on internal tools is routinely scheduled for the middle of the work day, because leadership is determined to make it as difficult as possible for you to do your job. Also, don't hold your breath on getting a commission pay out on time (or ever actually--reporting is always inaccurate, and will take FOREVER to be corrected). I would honestly stay far away if you're looking to advance and make good money in sales. Honestly, I'm just waiting eagerly for the next round of layoffs hoping to see my name on there so that I can just be done with the bs already.

      I am not sure eagerly waiting to get laid off is a great career development strategy but would happily discuss ways to help you navigate your career while at Dynata. We have many job opportunities internally and do a fair amount of internal promotions (you can review this in the monthly HR newsletter as well as all open positions). I do appreciate your recognizing the amount of effort and change that the company has gone through with the recent mergers. While trying to minimize the impact on the teams there has been disruption, and while unavoidable I do empathize with the frustration it has caused. There has been a lot of focus on harmonizing tools and technology and I believe we are making progress, but it does take time. We are looking at increasing training on new or current systems to help employees navigate more easily.

      Solely care about revenue and cutting costs. You'll be let go if you cost too much.

      Pros

      Big company with lots of products and clients.

      Cons

      Exploitative company. They know people are desperate for work during COVID-19 and are letting go of employees and re-hiring for cheaper talent. If you have a salary over $80,000 you'll likely be cut and replaced for someone they want to hire for $30,000 instead. The company recently laid off tons of people a month ago, and are now re-hiring for those jobs offering $30,000 so they are definitely taking advantage to re-calibrate salaries. They also are buying up smaller companies so they can be a juggernaut. They buy small companies promising a fantastic partnership only to then let go of the newly acquired employees and keep the technology only. Truly a gutless company not giving two thoughts about the lives they are impacting.

      I appreciate your feedback although many of your statements are factually incorrect, I do understand that is your perspective. Unfortunately, COVID-19 impacted our company as it did the industry at-large and the global economy. We were forced to make some very difficult decisions. Several steps were taken to try mitigate the loss of jobs, but ultimately had to make a small reduction in force to preserve the health of the company and save thousands of employees’ jobs. We continue to deal with the repercussions of the pandemic but remain hopeful that sunnier days are ahead. We wish you the best with your future endeavors.
