Pros

Mission driven, some of the smartest people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. High value on not just doing the work, but doing it well and at high standards.

Cons

Leadership started off as seemingly smart and good decision makers. Working at Granicus during COVID was truly inspiring and the CEO did a fantastic job at the helm trying to lead the company through a difficult time. He made the company open and didn’t shy away from the hot button topics. With the new administration, that seems to have done a full 180. He seems afraid to stand up to anything that will even be perceived as stepping on 47’s toes and the company seems intent on hiring people outside the US as cost cutting measures while not understanding domestic candidates understand the government far better. The one thing that has been an issue day 1 as well as the abhorrent pay compared to the same roles at different companies. Management will continue to insist the pay is fine and ignore all evidence to the contrary.

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.
