Pros

You know, the ones written by actual employees and not by the C levels or administrative staff under duress. Whenever someone writes an accurate review, they force 5 or so people to make up faux positive reviews to bury it. I can hardly blame them, though. The truth hurts. Pros - lovely coworkers who care about their job. Flexibility if you're in the right department. Wfh. Located on 16th st mall.

Cons

Where to start? We could touch on the fact that its a sea of white tech bros as far as the eye can see. Feedback from women and POC is brushed off. The manager situation is dicey. Some are good and care about their team, but many are people who have no business managing and only do so to collect a paycheck and micromanage to feel a semblance of control. Dead weight is dragged along if they're in MN. In the Denver office, if you look at someone cross-eyed, you'll be put on a 'performance improvement plan and even if you jump through all the hoops and do everything they ask-you will not pass it. Oh also work in MN if you want to be paid a living wage. The Denver employees are underpaid and the living expenses here are higher. They will deny this up and down. Its a good opportunity if you're very junior and want to get your foot in the door. Just be realistic. There are no career growth opportunities. They treat you like a child and track performance with insulting metrics and make you convince them as to why they should allow you the honor of staying employed. They were briefly implementing 'behavior bonuses' $25 gift cards to various retailers and other equally worthless garbage was offered to people in exchange for positive glass door reviews. After we understandably complained, they did away with the policy. That's right, they were trying to manipulate and bribe people to write positive reviews. That's how desperate they are. They could just make it a better place to work, but I guess that's more than they're willing to do for their employees. Keep that in mind if you apply here.

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.
