Pros

Incredible working conditions - Nice office space, free snacks / drinks & good coffee Some of the best benefits on offer - Family health plan, valuable shares, bonus, 25 days etc. Very impressive product - clearly ahead of the competition Management are very accessible and are open to suggestions Internal mobility feels like a real option Great leadership in a very inclusive, considerate environment Flexible working arrangements An active sports and social group organising social events, with free beer and snacks on a 'Thirsty Thursday' night once every two weeks Pool / Foosball / XBox / Games

Cons

Base salary is lower than average, but the shares and bonus make will make the difference. The location is not great for anyone coming from South Dublin, though a free shuttle bus runs from the City Center. A lot of the knowledge gained is not transferable, most development and configuration done in 'GOSU' which is not widely used.

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.
