Pros

I have endless opportunities to have my voice heard. The work I do means something more to me than just filling out a time sheet. I get to make an impact for huge government agencies. I get to provide a level of excellence where "just good enough" would otherwise probably be good enough. We get great benefits and are encouraged to make our non-work life a top priority. I have grown professionally and have opportunities to grow further. "It is what you make of it" definitely applies to this company.

Cons

This is a product-centric company, and as I am a service-centric employee, things don't always align for me here. The company is also currently merging with other companies, and may do more merging in the future, so I have to be flexible and adjust often. I get pulled in several different directions, which can be both good and not good. Overall the culture feels healthy, but unchecked and prone to having the loudest voices be the only voices heard.

Pros

I genuinely loved working at Granicus, and would go back if offered a position. I loved working alongside my boss, and the leadership team above him as they all encouraged & enabled me freedom to grow and upskill by taking on diverse projects with autonomy. -Cross-Functional collaboration always supportive -Encouraging team members, who always take the opportunity to educate -Great leadership team across most functions at the VP & Director level (this is where I have experience)

Cons

-Acquisition integration has been historically rocky at times, but, I think through experience the organization will seek to do better by existing employees at both companies.

We also value your advice on retaining top talent and institutional knowledge. We’re always glad to reconnect with former team members, and many have returned to Granicus to continue growing their careers.

Cons

Toxic leadership from managers up to the c-suite, no product innovation, comp plan gets worse every year. Base salary is offensive
