No opportunities for US Employees

Pros

Benefits. FTO. Autonomy. Work life balance.

Cons

Granicus, which services government agencies, is ironically offshoring most individual contributors and low level manager positions. Its is not transparent about over hiring for positions, requiring senior staff to train their replacement and then laying off senior US employees as “redundancy.”

Pros

- Remote Work - Health Insurance Benefits

Cons

1. They acquire companies and then fire the original staff to hire out of the country employees because they get paid 50% less. 2. They don’t care about the people working for them, they just have all these fake engagement people to make it seem like they do. 4. This is just another giant organization that doesn’t care about their staff, just their bottom dollar.

Pros

Fully remote is about it. My manager was a true example of how management should be and treat those they manage!

Cons

They are trying to sell the company for 4x the valuation and just acquiring as many other companies as possible so they can temporarily look more profitable than they actually are. Meanwhile with each acquisition, they are dismantling these acquired companies piece by piece blindly laying off tenured employees who hold critical roles, alienating customers, destroying culture, providing zero communication, and leaving the remaining unproductive picking up the pieces. How can anyone be excited to come to a place where they are just fearing when they will be laid off? They do all of this under the disguise of "restructuring/reorganization" and "geographic engineering" (aka outsourcing labor). They choose to cut corners and chase profit at the expense of employees and their families. Upper level management sits in a tower occasionally addressing the company in all-staff meetings as though we were peasants in King's Landing expected to praise their accomplishments while being given scraps!
