Pros

Campus, Flex Days, FMLA, Flex Hours

Cons

- Unqualified "Senior" software engineers in every area - Guidewire is trash and a career dead end. Some leader invested his career for it and refuses to see its garbage. - Leadership is too concerned with pushing their agenda instead of improving - Low pay for what we do - Business fights over funding so there is absolutely no concept of the "Agile" nature they say they are - If you aren't in with people, you won't get promoted - CEO would rather tweet about social issues than fix his company - CTO has a finance degree and no knowledge about technology. Says fancy things and makes this "cloud transformation" thing sound pretty. He is nothing more than another insurance leader from Homesite. There will be no transformation with him.

Pros

Hired as remote, wonderful manager who encourages and aids career growth. My team is fantastic, the work life balance & flexibility works very well for me.

Cons

Felt like a bait & switch situation pretty soon after being hired, we were then told that we will be hybrid 50% of the time in office. Those of us who were hired as remote were required to live within 30-50 miles of an office are required to be in office 10 days a month starting this fall. But some were hired that live outside those parameters? So that requirement ended up not being true? The timing of it felt planned for my onboarding group I guess. And when complaints aired (obviously) upper management held forums in which they basically said “we gave you enough of a heads up, nothing you say is impacting our decision.” That’s really the only thing that has bothered me working here. We’ll see how it goes in the fall!
