Pros

Guidewire is a great place to work at. The product set is excellent and is continuously evolving. The company responds fast to changing market needs. The management is fairly responsive to employee needs and expectations. And the work culture is very open and collaborative.

Cons

The open seating plan works well for collaboration, but can get distracting when you have to focus on tasks. Lack of personal space seems to be the only con at Guidewire. Though the pros outweigh this one con.

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.
