Pros

Smart people great work/life balance, which is visible when you see only a few people in the office on Fridays Free snacks Building challenging and exciting products for P&C industry Good business model

Cons

for a company that claims to be collaborative, there is a lot of politics and mistrust across different teams. at the surface, people are friendly, but many don't like to work with each other. there is a mentality of "old vs new", but in reality, both have pros and cons and people need to look past that and think what's best moving forward.

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.
