Pros

Granicus leadership believed in remote work, even after Covid. They did not enforce employees to return to a physical office space.

Cons

401K does fully vest until after 2 years of employment; which is a red flag, especially as there are constant layoffs in the workplace. Employees are primarily let go from acquisitions, or positions to being outsourced outside the U.S. This was more apparent especially after the Rock Solid acquisition in late 2022. Granicus leadership avoided and sometimes denied this issue, as it was apparent they were replacing U.S. positions. I currently work at another govTech company and I can say that my experience at my new company is exponentially better than at my time at Granicus. I did not realize how much more transparent the new company was, especially when it came to the financial stability of the company, and addressing any difficult topics such as layoff, political climate, etc. Additionally, I feel more supported in professional and career development, versus at Granicus there was none at all.

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’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.
