Pros
- Strong engineering talent is available in Bangalore and globally and has a good collaborative culture. - We get to work with products which has real customer impact. Working on critical systems for insurers gives a clear sense of purpose and technical challenges rather than just feature deivery - Exposure to modern engineering and AI practices. At Guidewire, we heavily invest in AI use cases, cloud native architecture, CI/CD and automation. - The Bangalore location has end to end ownership. Having product management, engineering teams and leadership all co-located helps in faster decision making and innovation. - Good work–life balance
Cons
- Not all teams are at the same level of maturity in cloud native development and CI/CD, so experiences can vary depending on the team - Different teams used different tools and conventions, which created context switching overhead and made standardisation harder for managers having multiple teams. But harmonization initiatives are in progress.
