Pros

Although Guidewire has grown a lot over past several years and has gone public, it is still true to its corporate culture and values: Integrity, Rationality, and Collegiality. It empowers its employees to do their best in serving its customers and in their own career growth. In many ways the company still retains the start up culture. It is still a great place to work.

Cons

Working for a fast growing company can be challenging. New things (products, people, knowledge, customers, skill sets, etc.) come up every day and it is very taxing to try to keep up with all these.

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.
