Pros

- Fully remote / work from home - Flexible working schedule - Some great people to work with at the lower levels

Cons

- Horrible overall culture, high turnover - You and your contributions don't matter and will not be recognized, you're just a number on a spreadsheet - Compensation is way below market, growth opportunities are non existent, expect low single digit increases, even with promotions - There is never budget for anything, teams are running skeleton crew constantly, except for the annual acquisition which there is always budget for - No sense of job security, you will be replaced by cheap labor sooner or later - Prioritize short term profit over long term success and customer satisfaction - Garbage leadership

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.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting the positive aspects of your experience at Granicus. We’re glad to hear you felt supported by leadership and empowered to grow through cross-functional collaboration and different projects. Your feedback on acquisition integration is noted and remains a key focus area as we refine our best practices. Integrating teams, workflows, processes, culture, operations, and more is a big undertaking that could not be possible without our team coming together and working through the opportunities and challenges of transformation. 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. If you’re interested, we encourage you to reach out to our Recruiting team to explore current opportunities.
