Pros

I loved this company before it was merged with GovDelivery. I was treated well, it was a compassionate place to work that saw people as human beings and not as drones. The people who work in the Denver office are fantastic humans. That office is a lot of fun. Oh and great healthcare was a good perk.

Cons

After the merger with GovDelivery, a lot of interesting leadership decisions were made, and some people clashed and egos got in the way. The culture changed a great deal into one that was very impersonal and generally ...machine-like? I went from feeling like a valued member of a work family to a cog in a machine very quickly. It's also problematic that 2 companies merged and GovDelivery's HR team took over completely and have been pretty unfair to legacy Granicus employees on the whole. There's no HR personnel in the Denver office at all. No one to talk to if you have a problem.

Pros

I genuinely loved working at Granicus, and would go back if offered a position. I loved working alongside my boss, and the leadership team above him as they all encouraged & enabled me freedom to grow and upskill by taking on diverse projects with autonomy. -Cross-Functional collaboration always supportive -Encouraging team members, who always take the opportunity to educate -Great leadership team across most functions at the VP & Director level (this is where I have experience)

Cons

-Acquisition integration has been historically rocky at times, but, I think through experience the organization will seek to do better by existing employees at both companies.
