Cons
Lack of cross departmental training leads to occasional finger pointing and attempts to discredit co-workers from other teams. This can negatively effect potential growth opportunities while leaving relations strained between departments. Luckily issues tend to be far in between. The pay is not as high as many leading tech companies, often time leading to well qualified employees leaving to companies offering more competitive rates Long work days are frequent with little to no opportunity to work from home, many team members stay late to ensure that no issues arise after the normal work hours. Minimum 9 hour work days (1 hour unpaid lunch) is becoming the norm in most tech companies - while this is not a con specifically with Granite. The bachelors requirement stops the company from taking on well qualified individuals.
