Pros

Free snacks Generally good people except those in leadership positions Transportation stipend Good work-life balance

Cons

Granicus is owned by private equity and as such is in the process of being fattened up to be sold again at some point. Unfortunately this had lead leadership to worry more about making the company seem like a good place to work instead of actually being a good place to work. I've never worked at a more bizarre company that essentially has zero culture or mission. Basically Granicus acquires other companies and does nothing to integrate the new teams or bring people together. What you're left with are internal frustrations and politics that make it extremely difficult to get things done regardless of your role. Pair that with the fact that our products are very outdated and constantly failing and you end up with a pretty mediocre company with increasingly frustrated customers. Communication between departments and management is terrible and policies are rarely documented leading to constant confusion and distrust. A ton of fake reviews have been posted recently so be wary of ones with phrases like "embrace change". Oh and did I mention the lack of diversity?

Pros

In my experience, Granicus is a great place to work. I felt supported by my direct manager as well as the executive team. Management really does listen to its employees and if it makes sense and is feasibly possible, they work with you to implement new ideas quickly. The company recently moved to an unlimited PTO policy which gives you a lot more flexibility as an employee.

Cons

The more senior AE roles require a lot of travel. This was my only reason for leaving.
