Pros

-Great Product -Incredible work/life balance with PTO/Holiday Schedule -Culture was great when everything was in office (downhill since covid) -Strong place for introduction/experience to SaaS industry -Some great managers throughout the org -Transparent and caring CEO

Cons

-Pay/Compensation is severely lower than the rest of SaaS industry -Being owned by an private equity firm makes things difficult for needed changes and employee appreciation -For example: best sales year ever in 2020 + money saved from remote work and no EOY bonus or anything to show thanks to employees -Alarmingly high turnover rate for every single department -Whether you’re a top performer or not, it’s hard to advance your career and be trusted by upper management -CEO talks about hot button topics which can be good but it brings politic conversations into regular conversations and meetings in the workplace too often

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.
