Pros

- Non-salary benefits are reasonable - Great peers. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with

Cons

- Poor communication from management. Re-structure without a strategy -- still figuring it out. We're threatened that if we question the solution, "we are going to have problems." - Too many rules; too many exceptions to those rules (some are more equal) - Penny pinching. We don't have the tools to do our job. Saving money by having us do more work.

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.
