Pros

Its a remote first company

Cons

1. Worst HR process: a. They call themselves a service company and India HR lead always treats it like a service company and compares to service companies b. The company is always willing to cut cost and not focus on wellbeing of the employee c. The comp policy are not very clear and HR head in India makes policies on the spot d. There is no proper process for Hikes if you are a top performer or a bad performer you get the same hikes(mostly until you twist some arms by threatening to leave) e. The only way of getting good hikes is to resign so that you get compensated for staying 2. Its a Vision less company a. The company does not have a CTO hence no uniformity in tech process. Everyone is running their own show b. The leadership is from small company hence no larger company outlook c. Everyone in leadership is waiting for the company to be sold so that they can get the stocks encased d. The CPO does not have a vision and gets influenced by anyone and takes autocratic decision e. They are just acquiring companies without a vision 3.Very Political a. The India is ready to take away all the good credit and transfer all the setback to individual employees b. I feel there is more politics and less work in the company c. Leadership never know the whole story jus believes in favoritism 4. The flood gates will open soon if they do not mend their ways, most of the people in the organization are searching for jobs

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.
