Good People, Challenging Work

Business Outlook

Pros

- Transparency. Echoing what others have written, Grant Street Group is transparent and forthcoming about decisions and why they're made. Questions are genuinely and frankly responded to, without reprisal. - Dedicated colleagues. You know those people you work with, the ones where you ask yourself every day "How does this person keep their job?" I have never encountered someone like that at Grant Street Group. Without exception, my colleagues are responsive, dedicated, and hard-working. They are also just genuinely nice and fun to be around. - Flexibility and work/life balance. I have never felt pressured to work more than 40 hours a week. I have worked more than 40 hours a week, but I will comp that time some other week. - Communication and feedback. If there's a problem, I know who to talk to and I know that I will be listened to. I am given constructive feedback regularly and feel comfortable giving feedback regularly, regardless of the "seniority" of the person I'm giving feedback to.

Cons

- Fast pace. For some, a high-intensity workplace is ideal, for others, it is not. This is not an organization where you can clock in and watch YouTube videos for a few hours. I personally find this environment exciting and challenging, and that's what I want out of a career, but others may have different priorities and might find this type of environment is not a good fit. - Constant change. Inter-organizational movement is common and rapid. Sometimes this is great, since it gives people a chance to move to a different area where they might be a better fit. Sometimes this is problematic, since employees have to "re-learn" a new subject matter which can slow down projects.

Good people; chaotic organization

Business Outlook

Pros

The owners and many of the company's employees are great people and are great to work with. The pay and benefits are both good and many people end up having a great experience. Good work/life balance.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly and, with that, is becoming more and more disorganized. The day to day experience of a business analyst is increasingly chaotic and office politics, middle management anointing favorites and pushing out experienced employees is happening more and more. Many people are fired quickly within their first few months, often with little or no notice. Middle and upper middle management has been known to lie about both big and small things. The company also has a rah-rah vibe and asks you to drink the cool-aid or risk being seen as not a good cultural fit.

Grant Street Group Response

Our President and CEO, Myles Harrington, asked me to pass along the following response to your review: We take your comments seriously. The day following your post we had a meeting with senior managers to explore the issues you raised. Frankly, we don’t know how to address them because we don’t have enough information to identify the people and practices you rightfully criticize. Nor is the feedback we have received in response to frequent requests for critical feedback enlightening in this regard. Recent internal and external employee surveys indicate an extremely high level of employee satisfaction. We encourage you to come forward and give us the benefit of your insights. I give you my personal assurance there will be no adverse consequences, just prompt action to correct the problem.

It's hard, it's like drinking from a fire hose, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Pros

I've been working at Grant Street for many moons as a programmer. Never before have I worked for a company that understood how important the company's people are as I have at Grant Street. The closest I've come to getting in 'trouble' at Grant Street was when a superior pulled me aside one day and said, "your personal life isn't suffering from the work you're doing right now, is it?" If you're the smartest guy in the room at your current job, you won't be at Grant Street. Everyone here has a severe case of imposter syndrome. You'll be working with people who have PhDs, who wrote massive name-brand applications, even people who helped write the actual programming language you're writing in! Getting hired at Grant Street is _hard_, and no matter how long you've been here, you will feel the pressure of a high work load, and having to keep up with the ever-changing technology. This isn't a bad thing, but it warrants a specific kind of talent: talent many people simply do not have. That said, if you're prepared for the workload, you will absolutely thrive at Grant Street. Management understands their job is simply to remove impediments to you getting your job done: they don't micro-manage, they aren't looking over your shoulder, and as long as your results are in line with expectations, you'll be just fine. Grant Street has treated me better than any previous employer ever has, and I am exceedingly thankful for it. And every few months, they make some other fundamental company change or adjustment to the way the company runs with the sole intention of making it a better place to work for its employees. I cannot recommend Grant Street highly enough. As long as they don't realise *I* am the dumbest guy in the room (and at Grant Street, I'm quite alright with that), I will continue to give them the best work I can.

Cons

I don't really have any cons, except to say if you aren't prepared for the massive business knowledge that is required to work here, it may not be the job for you. You cannot just show up and skate by at GSG. It simply won't work.
