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.
