Pros

Guidewire is a place where you can feel like you belong, regardless of where you come from, as long as you're okay with having authentic interactions with the goal of getting real work done. If you have a big ego or like casting blame when something goes wrong, then it's probably not the place for you. Work here is just about making great products that do what we say, helping our customers achieve more with our products, and running business in a way that we can all be proud to work here.

Cons

Things are moving fast. We are innovating and change is hard. Not everything has been figured out as we pivot quickly and have to adapt. These are not necessarily cons but just something that may be out of one's comfort zone at times.

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.
