Pros

* Decent Pay * Friendly Work Atmosphere if you are not a field consultant (Collegiality) * Flexibility in work timings for some employees * As of this month OCT 2017 share prices at an all time high * Stock options offered.

Cons

* A Liberal Cess Pool. Hard left wing ideologues in management * CEO Marcus Ryu never shy's away from bashing the President of USA (Checkout his articles in NY Times) * If you are a conservative, your manager will most likely scorn at that. * Mandatory Christmas leave is docked against you regular vacation days. * Minimal hikes on Pay (Equal or less than inflation) ,So negotiate well at hire. * Majority of bonus/perks linked to Stock options. The Stock is was overpriced IMHO, so every a slight miss in expected results will tank the shares of GWRE

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.
