DynaVox Reviews

I worked at DynaVox full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – It used to be a great company to work for - wonderful products that met a need, smart people, forward looking product plan. Now management is only concerned about the bottom line.

Cons – Since the company went public, it's gone downhill very rapidly. Salaries are not competitive; there seems to be absolutely no interest in keeping their employees or customers. and morale is terrible.

Advice to Senior Management – Start making an effort to develop new products, but support your customers and make an effort to appease your disgruntled employeesl

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – Knowing that disabled children (especially) are (often) being given their first opportunity to communicate clearly with their parents. Very rewarding.

Cons – Stark lack of leadership at all levels. Distinct lack of vision, products are being undercut steeply by competition that just a few years ago didn't seem to exist. Employee morale not even taken into consideration. Interdepartmental communication is functionally nonexistent.

Advice to Senior Management – TALK to your employees. MORALE really does mean something in the workplace. It's HUGE, actually, but start with baby steps...

I worked at DynaVox

Pros – Strong financial backing ensures competitive product development and strong presence in the market.

Company continues to make strides in a difficult industry.

Cons – There is a huge disconnect with what is happening in the field and senior management. There just isn't enough inside knowledge at the top. There is a lot of talent but senior management is suffering from insufficient experience in a very specialized industry.

Advice to Senior Management – Senior management should really spend more time in the field and understand the culture of their customers instead of focusing so much on the business of business.
