Granite Construction – “Great Company with management somwhat out of touch with the real world.”

Pros

Management's caring about employees well being. Bill Dorey truly cares about the people who work at Granite as well as being just a basic "good" guy.

Cons

Lack of management experience outside Granite creates a "Granite" world where best practices are not known. The company is too deeply embedded with senior managers from the same back ground, knowledge base and age. We need more diversity, particularly in experience. A number of the senior management team went to high school together, not good for a Fortune 1000.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire from outside and promote and compensate quickly based on performance
