Pros

I joined Guidewire back in January after 6 of my former co-workers came over. Their success and feedback really helped me be convinced that Guidewire was the right choice. And it wasn't easy getting in - the interview process is pretty grueling - you could tell that they really vet their candidates to make sure it's the right fit, not only from a job standpoint but culture as well. I've been in a few management team meetings and it confirmed for me how solid they are. They are pragmatic, humble and make the right decisions with the customer in mind.

Cons

The software is extremely complex and takes a long time to learn. My colleagues reassure me that it was the same for them and it's actually good that we always feel challenged.

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.
