Good Mission, Poor Direction

Pros

The mission of this company is great and the products this company offers are world class. I truly believe Graniucs' software/services do good for citizens The people you work with day to day here are great

Cons

This is no longer a long term place to stay. Granicus used to care a lot about its tenured employees, but has now hurt themselves by letting experienced, tenured employees go to save a quick buck. This has put heavy stress on the remaining employees causing more turnover and a downward spiral.

Pros

There are some really awesome people throughout the company.

Cons

Product leadership is less than stellar. There is no accountability, with them constantly trying to pass the blame for anything that goes wrong.

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.
