Granicus reviews

This company is the epitome of a toxic work environment. Granicus acquired a thriving, employee-centric company, Simpleview, for the success that was being driven for clients within the travel and tourism industry. Within five months of acquisition, this company derailed, neglected, and broke down all the best things of SV. Not only does Granicus not believe in communication - good luck getting any type of word in at their “town halls”, which mind you, they censor questions and concerns to only allow positive “great job” comments - they’ve neglected the very company they acquired. SV employees did not have access to insurance after the new year, leaving many employees to cancel critical appointments with providers due to Granicus missing steps within the acquisition - again, mind you they claimed to have done several acquisitions prior. Granicus also boasts amazing success post-acquisition, however, is continuously laying off original SV employees and hiring exclusively in Costa Rica due to the cheap labor. This company works with local government entities and now the travel and tourism industry, yet only hires outside of the US? Seems contradictory. Stay away from this company - as both a client and employee.

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.
