      Senior Leadership is toxic… think of the movie, Don’t look up

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Past leadership created an outstanding company from the inside out. Kurt Knapton was a leader whose vision in action inspired greatness and dedication among the company’s workforce, some are still there. The positive culture built during this time was rewarded by a workforce commitment by building and maintaining a solid reputation of excellence. By fostering a great deal of good will and attracting a skilled and dedicated workforce he set the company up for success - a win for the business, staff and the clients. The current leadership has in-done all of it. There are still some of those professionals kicking around, but many have given up on the company and left or been let go.

      Cons

      They keep driving the best people out with useless, time consuming process, lack of appreciation and stagnant pay. They demand a lot but give little in return. Hard work is rewarded by more hard work until you quit or break or are eventually let go. Nobody’s safe from the next round of terminations and everyone knows it. Being an innovator does not earn you loyalty from this employer, just momentary recognition, which quickly fades into what have you done for me lately. When quarterly employee satisfaction surveys are analyzed and reported back at quarterly employee updates, troubling trends in employee satisfaction are met with gaslighting. Everything is fine, nothing to see here. We have the best leadership team, we are truly talented and amazing! That is a recurring takeaway. Nothing is acknowledged or actioned in any way. The only happy folks seem to be the executives who continually pat themselves on the back.

      We’re sorry to hear that this experience was disappointing for you. Dynata has evolved significantly over the years as the business, market conditions, and client needs have changed, and we recognize that these shifts can be especially difficult for long tenured employees. Employee feedback from listening efforts is reviewed and helps inform initiatives and program updates as the organization continues to evolve, even when that feedback reflects challenging or uncomfortable themes. At the same time, we continue to assess how processes, expectations, and leadership practices support both the business and our people. Periods of change and restructuring can create uncertainty, and we understand the impact that can have. While we don’t comment on individual situations, we aim to approach these moments thoughtfully and with care for those affected. We appreciate the contributions you made during your tenure and wish you the best moving forward.

      It’s a big mess

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I am not going to say everyone is nice to work with, but a couple of people who care about you will understand you and what is going. This is the only pro you can think of here.

      Cons

      ITS A BIG MESS. DONT BE FOOLED BY THE JOB OPPORTUNITY. Huge mismanagement, selling a system that doesn’t work, big internal issues of projects not linking properly. They removed the old system and started a new one which makes no sense, no proper training given and the tech team have no knowledge how to fix things. The so called “big bosses” who everyone should be afraid of apparently only has one motive, and its not their employees, its greed, charging clients insane amounts of money for a service that barely works. Leaders who lead teams are not leaders but just another example in the book of showing respect to the higher bosses and disregarding their own team. BIG USE AND THROW policy. If you dont meet your KPI’s within 2-3 months of you joining, expect to be kicked out. Insanely high targets which have no justification or make sense. This place will drain your soul. AVOID at any cost, even if they show you a big salary.

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      flexable hours and reliiable pay for the hours you work. paid bi-weekly

      Cons

      you had a quota of calls you had to have daily and complete surveys. I could not make people answer their phones. i had to keep people on phone to complete surveys. some surveys would take 30mins! i could get completes. but i got cussed at and screamed at very regularly. i could still get a complete survey even being cussed at. but they kept making itarder with new quota requirements. it became a job that was way too stressful. hours dried up after presidential election. it wasnt very reliable on hours.

      Downward trend

      Client relationship manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The people are generally good to work with

      Cons

      The leadership and direction of the company has no interest in its employees. They have slowly stripped back any perk of working for them with no sign of slowing down. The moral has never been lower.

      Pros

      Great people who always worked together to grow and evolve client services

      Cons

      Upper management very disconnected from the day to day. Their perception of reality was clouded by the loudest voice in the room.
