Pros

Good Snacks, they send people to Ireland for doing the certification

Cons

I cleared the first two certifications in Ireland and then after coming back to US I prepared for the last one. However, the team I had in my panel was very rude and while showing the demo I missed couple of things and they asked me to leave the company. I have tremendous track records in all the companies I have worked with and I am having 13 years of Development experience. As per Guidewire I was not fit enough to code so I was terminated.

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.
