Pros

The company throws you a bonus every once in a while but it isn't usually to much. They do donate to a lot of Non Profit groups.

Cons

There is a huge amount of them but I will name the top ones. Dress attire is way to strict and women get away with it more than guys. Men always need to wear a collared shirt, dress suite and most annoying a tie each day Monday through Thursday even though we are not customer facing. Each "casual" Friday you can wear jeans BUT they make you pay $3 to do so then give it to charity (which is nice but you are paying for something they are going to make money back on.) Depending on the department you are in, there are no annual raises and to get a promotion is like pulling teeth to get one and most of the managers there are just looking out for themselves and won't help you. The company is more of a "job" and no real career path in my opinion.

Pros

Granite promotes an amazing culture where everyone feels not only at home, but happy to be there. With a C-Suite that practically knows all 1800 employees by name it is hard not to feel like part of the family. In addition to the internal amity that exists at Granite, there is also a huge presence in the community. With events like Saving by Shaving and Granite Gives Back, Granite employees donate an abundance of their time effort to improve the community, as well as, great causes like Pancreatic Cancer research at Dana Farber. In addition to the social culture Granite also creates abundant opportunities for its teammates to grow both vertically and horizontally. Whether you are looking to take on more responsibility, or simply a different responsibility, Granite is always willing to work with you on your own personal path-to-progress. No risk of getting stuck in a dead end job!! My personal favorite aspect of Granite is its commitment to a healthy life. Whether it be the 24/7 free of charge gym and yoga classes, or the company coordinated health plans (such as weight watchers) granite always has your well-being in mind. I also don't hate the easy reverse commute from Boston or the Red-line stop in the parking lot!

Cons

They didn't recruit me sooner.
