Why do Granicus employees quit?

You will gain fast, high-volume experience and a clear understanding of how poor structure and misaligned leadership impact execution. Individual contributors work extremely hard and carry a disproportionate amount of the company’s actual output.

In my experience, the company operates with a level of disorganization that consistently undermines its own teams. Leadership decisions often created an environment that felt psychologically unsafe, where employees were treated as interchangeable rather than invested in. There was a consistent gap between what leadership communicated and what was actually practiced. Expectations were high, but support, alignment, and follow-through were not. High-performing employees were routinely pushed beyond sustainable limits without meaningful recognition or long-term investment, which led to ongoing burnout and turnover. The company appears to operate with a startup mindset, but without the discipline or structure required at its scale, resulting in inefficiencies that directly impact both employees and product outcomes.

- They just fired dozens of employees to replace them with new hires from Costa Rica and India in order to look better as a buyout target. None of these new hires were even trained first, so now the remaining experienced employees have double or triple workloads. - There was no thought given to who was let go. They fired some very essential and high performing employees, but kept newer and less skilled workers. - They're disorganized in onboarding the employees of the companies they acquired. - The switch-over to their own software had many issues that left clients frustrated and employees unable to do their work.
