Good benefits. Many social experiences. Exposure to a verity of diverse companies, systems of operations and technologies. Also many great opportunities to meet honest and hard working colleagues.

Cons

Can be stressful meeting deadlines working with other companies with differing systems, often leading to extra work. Finding balance between work and home life can be a challenge.

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.
