Good company with a family-oriented culture. Fortune 500 company, nation wide, but has a small community feel.

Granite is a great place to work. Had a good team until a new CIO practically destroyed the IT department with dishonest practices. He was replace 2 years after I quit.

Good people to work for, very good atmosphere. Learned alot of new things.

This is a great place to start your working career. They may not pay as well as others; however, the opportunity to gain experience is there.

The company went through a rough patch with the recession, I am confident though that they are rapidly rebuilding and beginning to value their employees again.

Even though the company had limited understanding of how to pursue and win large project business, and knowledgeable professionals were hired to help with this, the company's executives and managers rarely took the advice offered by the experts they hired (too old school and too many 'good ole boys' in positions of management that would not change), – more...  and so it became a very frustrating place to work. Only the executives were empowered, even though their efforts at marketing the company were misguided. I would recommend this company to employees in construction only. – less
