Pros
None, no I promise you none. Seriously
Cons
The organization’s IT is extremely immature but attempting to pass themselves off as technical giants. They brought me and about 10 others on for a role they later dissolved within months of creating. Never seen a mature company do that. I was taking over a role someone likely previously left. Those should have been my red flags… There is extremely poor leadership and management. I literally was just on a town hall meeting where our director essentially told staff that Granite doesn’t want you if you don’t like your job or are unhappy working with Granite… there’s the door! Instead of taking ownership and accountability of the feedback Granite is receiving about the poor leadership and management, he responded like a child with a lisp. I’ve been around a long time and NEVER have heard a senior leader say something like this. The company isn’t interested in changing. They just now are starting “mentorship” programs because they are lacking enough quality leadership to grow their organization. They also spun up affinity groups to appear diverse but this is a “good ol boy” organization with no people of color in senior leadership, c suite, etc. If you are black, brown, or just have a little tan you will not have a any type of promotions or advancement. Had to be the Lowest company culture I’ve ever experienced and again it’s likely because of the leadership and morale. I hit the manager roulette wheel and got a micro manager from hell! Any time someone says “I’m not a micro manager…” on your first time meeting them… that’s a Freudian slip… they totally are!(Literally first day) I would not recommend this company to my enemies honestly. If you are young and talented there are plenty of great places to work, this is not one of them. If you are seasoned and talented the same applies to you.
