      Great Potential Undermined by Favoritism and Poor Leadership Choices

      Pros

      I worked here for a few years and appreciated the company's focus on growth and innovation. The 100% remote work environment is a significant benefit; most colleagues were friendly and supportive.

      Cons

      The workplace has potential, but several leadership roles are filled by individuals lacking the necessary experience or qualifications, likely due to favoritism. This makes it challenging to align employee growth with company objectives. Training budgets and resources are insufficient for a company of this size, and HR does not appear to act decisively on leadership issues. The high turnover rate also suggests underlying cultural and managerial problems. While diversity groups exist, leadership engagement in these initiatives is limited, reducing their overall impact.

      Depends where you are

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Granicus has grown through acquisitions, so my view is limited to the GovM division which is one of the older parts of the company. Granicus has an excellent benefits package in North America, and the unlimited time off has the real benefit of letting you take time off when you need it with no hassle. Of course, you still need to pull your weight and people take the same amount of time off as they would elsewhere. I truly enjoyed how the engineering teams valued software engineering best practices, as it was reflected in the great people I worked with. I sincerely miss my team and the great work we did.

      Cons

      As a VC-funded company, top management goals ran contrary to goals at the department management level in my three years there. Staffing was continually reduced and more than half the development time was spent fighting "emergency" technical debt fires that could easily have been anticipated and avoided. In 2024 they "awakened" to how much cheaper offshore development is and laid off half of GovM development, keeping the minimum people for knowledge transfer. Now one team is responsible for almost 30 applications. If you see reviews complaining about the lack of development support for products, this is why. This off-shoring is no doubt a blueprint for other parts of the company. A red flag is when individuals unexpectedly get transferred to another department. The severance package is minimal and the same for everyone (proof they actually don't give a <> about years of hard work or exemplary performance)
