Pros

Product is market leading. People are so far all smart, open and responsive. I have yet to meet a Guidewire employee I think is an idiot. Work / life balance is good. My position is high travel but this was very clear from the start so no complaints. Open management structure is great - I have talked to many way above my pay grade and never felt less than talking to an equal.

Cons

Travel, but I knew that going in. Training is still being refined for the DM practice but you're never going to know everything as a consultant starting out.

Pros

NA, can't think of anything positive anymore. It's a micromanaging mess.

Cons

Guidewire makes majors shift every 2 years and the last one to take PgM out of PD into its own department is a micromanaging nightmare. We have more status meetings and spreadsheets to update than time to do any work anymore. 3 places to update if I want to take PTO. 7am and 7pm meetings are now the norm. 6 bosses in 10 years, no one can make up their mind on the direction of the company, projects start and are abandoned constantly.
