Pros

BlueGranite is a great place to work. I love the work life balance and ability to work from home. Customer projects are challenging and exciting with the constant changes in Technology. I love how transparent the management is with the team.

Cons

Working remotely can be a challenge to feel connected with the team. I know BlueGranite is working hard at ways of making everyone feel more connected.

Thank you! Really glad to hear you feel we are transparent with our team. We strive to keep an open door environment, sharing information about our direction, performance, and decisions while welcoming feedback from everyone. Staying connected is definitely a challenge given how spread out we are now. We're going to double down on new initiatives like our peer coach & mentor program, and our quarterly office visits to Kalamazoo. We'd also like to hear from more folks at weekly staff meetings and will keep encouraging team members.

Pros

The culture at BlueGranite is to empower the consultants with the tools they need to do a great job, including even professional development. The team is made up of extremely intelligent people with a client-is-always-first approach as they do their work. They don't take the interview process lightly and the expectations are set very high once people are in the door. They're selective on the projects and clients taken on, righteously so, making this a very unique place for consultants.

Cons

The onboarding process may need a little refinement. It can get confusing quickly due to the learning curve, and having a more organized process to onboard a new employee (most elements could be standardized) can go a long way. Working from home is a perk (and a must), however, it can be a double-edged sword. The negative aspects of working from home are usually ignored. The pay is somewhat competitive, however, the job market is extremely competitive in this field making it appealing for anyone to consider other job opportunities for higher pay. The time allowed for professional development seems fair, theoretically. With the workloads and high expectations for each project, it is difficult for anyone to focus on professional development without somehow making a big sacrifice. But due to working with technology that is constantly changing, investing in development opportunities is critical to everyone's success.

Thank you. We are constantly working on improving our onboarding processes and coaching programs. Our team's feedback is important to us and we welcome direction of how we can improve. We have since implemented a more formal onboarding process that a new team member meets with 11+ team members within the first week to help them feel part of the team. Our MyPath career program is growing and improving in the coming months and years to help address your advice to management. Thank you for that feedback.
