Pros

Complex software systems, modern tooling, exposure to an interesting domain, which you could possibly learn a lot from . A few good people left. They used to pay decent, but cut way back on everything.

Cons

Taking on water too fast, the lifeboats left, now a mix of jumpers and remaining officers tossing the remaining crew overboard. Merged company, culture in legacy East Coast HQ that included was cronyism, protectionism, fire-fighting heroism, directionless, hypocritical garbage that produced an unstable, cash hemorrhaging pile of trash that ended up being selected as the core platform. It was dying before the merger happened. Coupled with a private-equity managed environment that is equally clueless in what it takes or how to fix core issues.

Thank you for your feedback, as we value your opinion. Mergers and acquisitions are always tricky, especially when bringing different cultures together, but we are proud of what we have accomplished as Dynata in such a short time. We continue to learn from each other and grow the business according to our core values.
