Pros

Work / Life balance is great here. Great purpose (Technology for the people that change the world!) Great group of peers Lots of different tech stacks to learn.

Cons

Granicus used to be such an awesome place to work and thrive. Ever since the merger with GovDelivery though, employees are just a line in a spreadsheet. Pay is well below market rate ($30,000.00 below for some engineers) and raises are pretty much a flat 2-4% across the board no matter how much or little you bring to the table. Employees from all over the company are flocking away or actively looking for a new job. In the last 2 months in engineering alone Granicus has lost 1 director, 1 manager and 5 engineers and not a single position is open for back-filling... Every department is running extremely thin and has been for quite some time. Due to this and the fact that almost everyone is quite underpaid, burnout is a serious issue that no one seems to consider or care about. The product team is completely in control of everything engineering works on but can't seem to put together even the half-decent beginnings of a sound plan. They also flat out refuse to get feedback from engineers when forming plans.

Pros

A fantastic group of people working for a company that is rapidly expanding with plenty of growth opportunities. The office environment is fun without being over the top. Leadership is friendly, motivating and approachable.

Cons

The company has been on a trend of buying other companies and closing offices in cites other than existing locations. If your company gets bought you get an offer to relocate, but it is a good time to dust off the resume. Pay is fair, but usually on the lower end of the spectrum when you compare to national numbers.
