Pros

2020 has already been an unpredictable and transformative year for individuals, leaders, and companies. I am thankful to work for Granicus during this unprecedented time. The executive leadership team has made data-driven decisions and has been leading with empathy and transparency through this unprecedented time. The ability to be productive from home, understand and advocate for the policies and decisions being made on my behalf, and feel supported by my management team is immeasurable. I am beyond thankful to work for a company that actively thinks about how to reduce my stress level, and then acts upon it. A company that listens to their employees, incorporates their voices into the policy changes and decision making and highlights data (good or bad) to indicate where we are and where we are striving to be.

Cons

When you enjoy what you do and the company you are doing it for, it's hard to make clear work-life balance decisions. Management encourages a work-life balance and provides tools and policies to accomplish a perfect blend. However, I recognize it's up to me to find the right balance.

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.
