Toxic Leadership and Environment - Senior Project Manager Dynata Employee Review

Dynata has gone through many mergers and acquisitions and through them all, they have not been able to keep up with the growth that comes with it. They are constantly throwing on “band-aids” as fixes to issues and expect their lower-level employees to deal with the brunt of it. Management in general has changed for the worse and it’s clear that this is at the root of the issues Dynata faces. Their major shift in priorities has caused a misalignment in goals across departments, making it that much harder to reach a satisfactory collective end goal. It’s also created an environment where there is no incentive in being a top performer with top performers continually being put on the same pedestal as the lower performers. It’s also led to employees getting mounds of work thrown on them with high expectations of how that work is getting done, only for there to be no acknowledgement of a job well done when those expectations are met and exceeded. In the end, there are no amount of gift cards or free lunches that can make up for how underpaid and undervalued employees are feeling. It’s become a thankless job with many acknowledging this by going elsewhere.
