Too many managers - Anonymous employee Dynata Employee Review

The current leadership structure is top-heavy, with numerous director and VP positions but insufficient support for the employees actually delivering results. Promotions and recognition appear to be driven more by alignment with leadership than by merit, which demotivates high performers. Budget limitations are often used to stall career growth for those doing the core work, while senior roles continue to multiply. Strategic direction often feels like repackaged versions of existing ideas rather than true innovation. Excessive micromanagement by certain leaders is pushing capable people to leave, weakening the company’s talent base. Without a serious course correction in leadership culture, Dynata risks not only losing its best employees but also undermining its long-term growth and stability.
