Granicus reviews

- I am leaving because I got into this line of work with the goal of making government tech better– instead Granicus has managed to make me worse. - There is no product vision– only goals of a sale to some future private equity buyer - Upper leadership knows of issues with severe implications for data security, client privacy, legal compliance, and general stability of its applications, but takes no action until it reaches an absolute crisis. Even then, severe issues are still ignored or punted. - Wildly outdated technology is normalized. - There is no leadership goal of deliverying a good experience to customers, only doing barely enough so that clients continue paying. They take advantage of their monopoly in the space. - Leadership doesn't understand AI but has caught onto it as a buzzword and "cost optimization strategy." Instead of being thoughtful, they are randomly cramming AI into already-broken workflows. - Frequent layoffs with loose transition plans for all the work that needs to be carried forward. There's a goal to "geo-shift" to companies where salaries are lower, but Granicus neglects to train any of these new employees and expects them to just pick up work from somebody with years of experience. - Granicus pays wildly, wildly below market. If you're considering a job here, do not believe management when they say they will do a review at 6 months and raise your pay– that never happens. - No mentorship or training - As a woman of color in a white, male-dominated area, I was frequently talked down to and was told it was not my job to think or talk in meetings even though both of those are essential to my role.
