Pros

People work well together in development The use of Agile development fosters team work Your are responsible for your work, managers try to remove obstacles and not "manage" you Very profitable and very stable revenue stream Stock keeps going up Very nice work/life balance, good for people with familes less stress than most other Silicon Valley companies as the release cycle is over a year long

Cons

Some other tech companies have better benefits you are not working on the absolute cutting edge of technology

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.
